The Jonesboro Chamber of Commerce has partnered with several businesses in the area to host the TEKSTARZ camp for 7th and 8th graders. The date of the camp is June 5-8. This is a wonderful opportunity to expose your students to careers in Northeast Arkansas.
I have volunteered to assist this year with the camp. The Chamber only has space for 22 students. The spots are filling up quickly. They will accept students on a first come first serve basis. A representative from the Chamber will be on campus on May 10th during homeroom (7th period) to show a short video and answer questions. If your student wants to learn more, please let me know, or if you want to hold a spot then email me and I will get an application sent home. The $20 is not required for students to attend. The Chamber has a few sponsors if students cannot pay.
Just a reminder that "Keep Brookland Beautiful" is this Saturday @ 10:00am. See flyer below for additional information.
Congratulations to Bearcat Trap team members Lucas Welch and John Seats. Both won their divisions on Saturday. Lucas shot a 96/100 and John shot a 94/100. Several other shooters on the team shot new personal best scores!
