On February 2, Mammoth Spring High School hosted the 1A Northeast Jr. High Regional Tournament at Mammoth Spring First Baptist Church. Five teams from the region participated in the event. The Mammoth Spring Jr. High Quiz Bowl team was 4-0 in the tournament and took home 1st Place. Carly Russell averaged 7.75 correct tossup questions/game and was named to the All-Tournament Team.
Team members include Carly Russell, Peyton Holder, Josh Parks, Quintin Richey, Zoey Lavy, Landon Mullins, Anna Owsley, and Tony Ennis.
The regional champions will now move on to participate in the Jr. High State Tournament on February 17 at UACCM in Morrilton.
Tomorrow is our monthly meeting for the community to give input on our district calendar for the 2024-2025 school year. We will be sending a survey out this week after tomorrow's meeting.
Last week, Mammoth Spring School District hosted the Fulton County Spelling Bee. We are proud to announce the winner was Avery McNabb. She is a 6th grader from Mammoth Spring and is a repeat county champion. Her winning word was injurious.
The schools competing were Viola, Salem, and Mammoth Spring. There were a total of seventeen spellers from grades 4 through 8. The spelling bee lasted five rounds.
Avery will represent the county at the state bee in early March.

There will be a board meeting on Thursday, February 1, beginning at 5:00 p.m. in the boardroom. This will be to hire a para-pro.
Neal Rogers's bus is running 30 minutes late.
Marty Young's bus will be running about twenty minutes late this morning.
Athletic Update: The weather has been a big obstacle for winter sports, as it always is. However, I believe that we have everything lined back out and scheduled for our athletes. We hosted CRA last night, and will play Marked Tree in a 4 game night tonight beginning at 4:30. Tomorrow, we will continue conference play with a 4 game night at Maynard. Ridgefield Christian's games have been moved to Saturday, with Jr. Boys beginning at 3:00 and Sr. Boys following. Ridgefield's Jr. Girls have elected to not play that game, and it will not be made up. Basketball season is winding down, with only 1 week left in junior high and 2 weeks left in senior high for regular season action. Keep up the good work, Bears and Lady Bears!
We have inspected the roads, and I am happy to report Mammoth Spring Schools will be in session tomorrow, January 25. Please remember to charge your Chromebooks.
After driving the rural county roads, many dirt roads remain ice-covered. Mammoth Spring Schools will be closed on Wednesday, January 24.
Games at Mammoth Spring will be held tonight. We do not have many options since we and other schools are rescheduling several other conference games. If more bad weather were to come in, it would be difficult or impossible to get all the conference games played. Many rural county roads remain ice-covered. Team members who cannot attend tonight’s game will not be penalized for staying home.
After driving bus routes this afternoon, some dirt roads are still ice-packed. Mammoth Spring School District will be closed one more day on Tuesday, January 23. If the predicted temperatures happen tomorrow, the bus routes will be safer for our buses to travel on Wednesday. Student safety is our top priority.
