Ms. Simmons' Kindergarten class at Hardin is already gearing up for Halloween during center time. They practiced matching uppercase and lowercase letters, then worked together to put them in alphabetical order. We love seeing their teamwork and excitement for learning!
Mrs. Johnson’s kindergarteners played a fun review game called Mystery Bag! Students reached into a bag of letters, felt one without looking, and guessed what it was. Then they pulled it out, named the letter, said its sound, and thought of a word that starts with it. This playful activity builds letter recognition and sound awareness, and it’s easy to try at home with fridge magnets or flash cards!
At WHHS, Mrs. Austin’s Principles of Banking students are getting hands-on practice with the 10-key calculator. This essential tool helps them quickly and accurately perform financial calculations, skills that are valuable not only in banking, but also in accounting, business, and everyday life.
Gandy 2nd graders and the WHHS Theater Class students enjoyed a special field trip to the Arts and Science Center for Southeast Arkansas to see Finding Nemo Jr. Students not only got to enjoy the show but also cheer on classmates Bree Lunsford, Brooks Lunsford, Landon Stewart, and Isaiah Austin as performers! They also had the chance to explore the museum’s exhibits. Opportunities like this help encourage and support students interested in the arts, and we are grateful for the community support that makes them possible!
In Mrs. Akins’ 1st grade class, students are teaming up to build closed syllable short ‘u’ words using our Really Great Reading kits, a curriculum designed to build strong foundational reading skills.
Counting on Success: At Taylor, Mrs. Stewart’s students are practicing counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s as they work toward mastering multiplication facts.
White Hall graduate and first-year teacher Ms. Helms returned to Mrs. Rowe’s Pre-Educator class to share her journey—from being a Pre-Educator student in 2019–20 to college internships and taking the Praxis. A great full-circle moment for our future educators!

At Taylor Elementary, Mrs. Hayslip’s Homeroom is working hard and having fun! with a Beat the Timer challenge. Students are racing the clock to sort R-Controlled words (ar; air/are; or/ore/our) into the correct syllables.

Today we recognize Constitution Day, a time to reflect on the document that has guided our nation for over 200 years. On September 17, 1787, the U.S. Constitution was signed in Philadelphia, laying the foundation for our government and protecting the rights and freedoms we enjoy every day. Constitution Day is a reminder that understanding our history helps prepare us for the future.
White Hall School District is proud to join schools across the country in honoring this important day.
