Parents/Guardians,
As most of you know, Governor Asa Hutchinson has lifted the mask mandate for the state of Arkansas effective March 30. However, the Arkansas Department of Education is leaving it up to individual school boards to continue or discontinue the use of masks in the school. We have created a survey to get your input on the continued usage of masks for the Mammoth Spring School District. Your input will help the Ready for Learning Committee make a recommendation to the school board on this issue. You should make your submission no later than noon, Wednesday, April 7.

Senior High Beta is raffling 2 sides of beef (processed roughly around the beginning of August) to help pay for our trip to the National Convention in June. We are selling tickets for $20 and we are limiting the number of tickets sold to 250. We will draw the winning tickets as soon as we sell all 250, which will give the winners time to come up with the room to store the beef in their freezers! Tickets will be sold on a first come first serve basis. Please contact Anthony Collins at acollins@mssd.us with your purchase requests.
Congratulations to this week's Millionaire Club!
