ASHDOWN CHARITY FAIR

 


AJHS social studies teacher Kim Miller feels pretty cocky as she taunts the baseball throwers at the Ronald McDonald House dunking booth.  After many attempts, she was still completely dry -- but that didn't last much longer.  As the throwing arms got stronger, she got wetter and colder.  The dunking booth raised almost $200 for the Ronald McDonald House charity.

G/T students Brett Bond and Colby Dellinger demonstrate the obstacle course participants had to complete before they were allowed to write a letter to wounded soldiers at the Military Red Cross booth.  The exertion was a small sampling of what soldiers endure to protect our country.

"Flush Away Cancer" was the message as patrons tossed toilet paper rolls into a purple potty.  TARGETS students who represented the American Cancer Society are Sydney Hurd (kneeling), Ashlyn Harger and Keonda Johnson with mom Shelonda Johnson behind.

Arkansas-based Heifer International is known worldwide for its humanitarian work in agricultural education for citizens of third-world countries.  Pictured are G/T students Chase Matthews, Parker Rowe, and Ben Birtcher, who, along with the rest of their TARGETS classmates made a field trip to the headquarters of Heifer International in Little Rock earlier this fall.
The World Wildlife Federation booth at the Charity Fair provided handouts about the charitable organization and candy in exchange for a donation.  The display included preserved species of wildlife in our area.  Young Connor Poole carefully touches the nose of a beaver when his mom Misty is not looking.  Also pictured are (l to r) TARGETS students Robin Roy and Kohl Kervin, with dad Cory Kervin.
 

From left to right, Liza Embry, Chelbi Gathright, and Addison Smedley potted small trees for donors at the Arbor Day Foundation booth to take home and hopefully re-plant.

RED RIBBON WEEK IN ASHDOWN

 

 

 


First graders at MDP carry the banner in the Shoebox Parade announcing that "At our school, we say, 'No Drugs, No Way!'"

Kindergarteners and first graders gather excitedly in the cafeteria of Margaret Daniel Primary, anticipating their march in the annual Shoebox Parade as part of Red Ribbon Drug Awareness Week.  Each student creates a float using a shoebox and delivering an anti-drug message.

Kaylee Gore and Hallie Mays carry the banner for Mrs. Haarmeyer's Kindergarten class that says "Stay Drug Free and Hog Wild!"
MDP Counselor Yvonne Bond leads the Shoebox Parade with her boom box instead of a band.  Mrs. Bond has been responsible for organizing the parade for several years now, encouraging the students and parents to spread the Drug Awareness message of Red Ribbon Week every year in October.
 

MDP kindergarten student Eden Jones happily pulls her shoebox float with a look-alike blonde doll spreading the message "Just Say No to Drugs!"

First grader Logan Fisher pulls his football-themed shoebox float during the MDP Shoebox Parade.

Kindergarteners and first graders parade down the sidewalk of MDP pulling their floats in the annual Shoebox Parade and a crowd of visitors and family cheer them on.

 Kindergarteners parade down the sidewalk of MDP pulling their floats in the annual Shoebox Parade making their stand against drugs and smoking.

Anna Reed's shoebox float says that she is "Drug Free & Hog Wild!"

 Anna Arnold's shoebox float declares "Stomp Out Smoking!" 

 


 

Kaydence Briggs, first grader at MDP, enjoys the Shoebox Parade around the school while pulling her shoebox float.

"Scare Away Drugs" was the message of the winning Red Ribbon Week Door Decorating Contest entry at Ashdown Junior High.  Jeannie Vaughan's 4th period class decorated the door and will get Slushies at lunch.  Pictured are (left to right) Kaylee Thoms, Mikayla Lacefield, and Tye James, all 7th graders.  Other students who helped are Erik Dorse, Devin Shumake, and Troy Ybarra. 

"Give Drugs the Boot" was the theme for Friday at Ashdown Junior High during Red Ribbon Week.  Students sported their favorite pairs of boots in participation.
