"We will be a school/district with an unrelenting focus on learning. All students are expected to succeed; failure is not an option."
As of July 1, 2014, the location of the Ashdown School District Community & Parent outreach programs and the Homeless program has been moved to the New Traditions School, the ALE campus at 751 Rankin Street. These programs will be housed in the old high school building at that address. (This includes the copier, laminator, Ellison dye cutter, and all other supplies associated with the pre-school and daycare programs.) Contact Kim Befeld at 870-898-4450 with any questions.
From the Little River News:
The 2014 H.E.R.O. (Heal, Educate, Reach, Overcome) Nurse Service Award, from Global Glove Manufacturing, manufacturers of medical and surgical gloves, recognizes nurses who have made a lasting impression on their peers, their patient, their profession and their community.
Just 10 nurses from around the country have been selected to win this award. Ashdown native Linda Paxton Easter is one of these winners.
There were 58 nominations from all over the United Sates and Easter was the only one that had two nominations. She was presented with a plaque, a certificate, a nursing textbook worth up to $200, a nursing magazine of her choice for a year and the publication of her bio on Ansell's website.
Easter is a Neurology Specialty Nurse at Arkansas Children's Hospital. She has been a nurse for over 35 years. She is a 1971 graduate of Ashdown High School. She is the daughter of the late Ardella Walton and the late Sam Paxton and the sister of the late Nathaniel Paxton.
Easter said she lives by the philosophy of "Treat people the way you want to be treated. Treat them with respect even when they don't give in return. Trust God with all you heart, soul and mind and to he who is given much, much is required of him."
If you didn't attend Covert's Country Bash, you missed a good time . . . and a chance to be included in a good cause.
