This week at Mammoth Spring Elementary, we have been talking about GOALS! It's so important, no matter how old or where we are in life, that we have goals. The Bears are using the SMART Goal method. SMART is an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timely. By using this method to set our goals, we know we have set ourselves up for success! One goal had to be academic, and for 3-6 grades, they could choose the other two in any area. The students will keep these goals where they can see them daily so they can ask if they are doing what they have to to meet them. Ask these students about their goals, and let's all get behind them for their ultimate success!

Athletic Update:
Basketball is well underway, and got started on Monday evening when the junior girls traveled to Sloan-Hendrix for the consolation game in the Bill McCurley Tournament, where they were defeated by Hillcrest. Last night, all four teams took on Bay at home. Friday, junior boys and both senior high groups will travel to Viola to play. A special thank you goes out to the Mammoth Spring-Thayer Rotary Club, who helped us in our concession stand last night. We appreciate you! We would be glad to have any other community group or local business who wants to come and pair with us for a community event on a game night. The Bear Den is always a great place to catch up with members of our community, and we are glad to host everyone. Good luck to our teams this week as they compete and Go Bears!
Thank you to Harding University for speaking with our seniors today!
