Berryville, AR – March 1, 2024 – To encourage more families to take advantage of the healthy choices available with school breakfast, Berryville Schools will celebrate National School Breakfast Week (NSBW) during March 4-8, 2024.
Busy weekday mornings make it a challenge for many families to find time for a healthy breakfast. Fortunately, Berryville Schools offer nutritious school breakfasts, complete with fruit and low-fat or fat-free milk, to ensure students are fueled for learning every school day.
The NSBW campaign theme, “Surfs Up with School Breakfast,” reminds the entire school community that school breakfast provides a healthy and energizing start to the day for students. Studies show that students who eat school breakfast are more likely to:
• Reach higher levels of achievement in reading and math
• Score higher on standardized tests
• Have better concentration and memory
• Be more alert
• Maintain a healthy weight
School nutrition professionals and students will be encouraged to show their enthusiasm for school breakfast from March 4-8 as the district celebrates NSBW with special menus, activities, and more.
A healthy breakfast at the start of the day is a great way to ensure students are nourished and ready to learn. National School Breakfast Week helps us educate parents and students about all the nutritious and delicious choices we offer.
Parents and students can follow the fun on Facebook.com/TrayTalk.

These ‘Little Rascals’ were in the spotlight today! Third grade’s Odyssey of the Mind team placed second in their division in the state qualifying tournament in Prairie Grove.
ATTENTION Bobcat Academy Families:
Beginning March 4, the after school program hours are being adjusted because the regular school day is being extended by 18 minutes. Dinner will be served at 5:25 and students will begin cleaning up/being dismissed to the car rider line/buses at approximately 5:50. As always, if you need to pick up your child early for an activity or event, call the office and your student will be brought to the front of the building.
In addition to the extended minutes, there are four (4) snow days the program is required to make up. Those make up dates are March 8, April 5, April 12, and April 19. These days are FUN FRIDAYS with a lot of interactive activities for students to learn from and enjoy!
Spring Sports Schedule the next few days!

Bobcat Families –
After we announced our make up days for weather, the state department of education offered the opportunity to change our calendar to count instructional time rather than instructional on-site days.
Therefore, we revamped our calendar, received a supportive vote from our staff and school board of education, and received approval from the state board of education.
Our new plan is to add 28 instructional minutes to each day beginning March 4th. If we do not have any more weather day cancellations, our last day of school will be Friday, May 24th.
The High School and Middle School will begin at 7:45 with the first bell ringing at 7:41. Late start Monday will begin at 8:20 with the first bell ringing at 8:16. Students will be dismissed each day at 3:24.
Elementary and Intermediate School will begin at 8:00 and students will be dismissed at 3:33.
February 19-23 is Gifted and Talented Awareness Week

From Mrs. O'Dell (Gifted and Talented)
Third and fourth grade quiz bowl students competed in a round-robin tournament at the OUR co-op last Friday. They only won one game, but they learned a lot about quiz bowl. I am very proud of all of them! The pictures were taken during their ‘bye’ round. Big thanks to Andrew Griesenhauer and Ellie Asbury for coming to judge and keep score!
5 Bobcat wrestlers qualified for state tournament: Ocean Mullins, Brayden Reeves, Rendy Lazo, David Moreno, Zydon Ballard.
Congratulations!
