🎉 Building the Future of Education in Southwest Arkansas! 🍎

DMESC was proud to host 18 Pre-Educator students from De Queen High School as they took an important step toward their future careers in education.

These students sat for the ParaPro Exam, one of the first major milestones on their journey to becoming the next generation of teachers and coaches for our schools. Seeing these future educators take this step is an exciting reminder that the future of education is already sitting in our classrooms today.

The momentum behind the Pre-Educator Pathway continues to grow across our cooperative. 11 of the 12 DMESC member districts are now offering the Pre-Educator Pathway, creating opportunities for students to begin preparing for careers in education while still in high school.

At DMESC, we are committed to helping our districts build their own teacher pipeline, supporting students who want to return to their communities and serve the next generation.

👏 We are proud of these students and cannot wait to see the impact they will have in our classrooms in the years ahead.

March 9-13 is Americorps Week. This week is set aside to recognize volunteers through Americorps who have chosen to serve their communities by serving. Our DMESC Foster Grandparent Program is part of the Americorps federal organization.

We so appreciate our foster grandparents and all they do for the students in our DMESC schools. They share lots of their time, love, attention, and compassion with those students. Our grandparent volunteers also do service projects for their communities like filling food pantries in the area and making blankets for cancer patients in our hospitals.

This past week Oden Preschool enjoyed lots of reading and activities in celebration of Dr. Seuss Week! Our students loved having special guest readers and also enjoyed being guests of the elementary students.
A special thank you to Mrs. Bergum, Coach Kennedy, Jennifer Barrett, and Whitney Starr for helping make this week one to remember.
The love of reading truly begins early, and we are so thankful for those who help inspire it in our students.
