✨ This week, we are joining schools across Arkansas in celebrating Celebrate Freedom Week! ✨
At Walker Elementary, we honor the principles of freedom and democracy that guide our nation. Our Wildcats are learning about liberty, citizenship, and the values that make our country strong. 💙❤️
Today, our 5th graders attended a special Flag Class with Capt. Clifford C. Mosier, USA (Ret) and COL Frank Long. They shared the meaning of our flag and how we honor it. The U.S. flag represents our freedom—the stripes for the original colonies, the stars for the states, and the colors for bravery, purity, and justice.
Let’s continue to inspire our students to be thoughtful, informed, and proud of the freedoms we share. 🦅📚

A special thank you to Suzanne Murphy from the Illinois River Watershed Partnership for engaging Mrs. Cebuhar’s 5th graders with an enviroscape today! 🌎💧 Students investigated different types of pollutants and made meaningful connections to the ways human actions impact our environment. They also began brainstorming ideas for a collaborative project where they will use science ideas to protect Earth's resources and environment. 🌱✨ #SpringdaleFamily
🌱 Our 5th graders dug deeper into their study of decomposers! Students explored how to conduct fair tests and experimented with different variables to see how they impact worm behavior. 🪱🔬 #SpringdaleFamily

A huge thank you to Dr. Eubanks from the University of Arkansas Office of Innovation for Education for visiting Mrs. Cebuhar’s 5th graders! Students learned about conducting safe and responsible research as they prepare to launch their passion projects. We can’t wait to see their creative visions come to life and are so grateful to our amazing NWA community for supporting our students' goals! #SpringdaleFamily
The monarchs are ready to begin their journey south for the winter! 🦋 A special thank you to Mrs. Peek for sharing these beautiful butterflies with us today! The joy our Wildcats felt releasing them was truly priceless.
Join the Springdale community at the Monarch Flight Festival in Downtown Springdale next Saturday, September 20th, from 10AM–4PM. This free community event brings us together to honor the magic of the monarch migration! #SpringdaleFamily
Our 4th graders modeled traffic at intersections to explore what happens during collisions. They collected data on their observations and discussed how safety rules help prevent accidents and keep people safe. As part of their study on energy transfer, students connected real-world traffic scenarios to how energy moves between objects during a collision. #SpringdaleFamily
2nd grade engineers in action! Students designed and built supply cases that could securely hold five crayons. They tested their designs by dropping them to see if the cases stayed intact, applying the engineering process to solve a real-world problem. #SpringdaleFamily
Kindergarten engineers in action! Students designed and built shelters for their Lego people as they explored one of the basic needs of living things—shelter. Just like animals and plants need specific things to survive, shelter helps living things stay safe during harsh weather conditions. #SpringdaleFamily
Our 5th graders investigated decomposers in action through a worm lab, observing earthworms' behavior to explain how worms help break down organic matter. Students explored how matter is cycled through ecosystems as nutrients are returned to the soil to support new plant growth. #SpringdaleFamily

K–2 enrichment groups are activating their creative thinking skills by exploring and designing their own ice planets! Students discussed how water freezes to form ice, then collected temperature data as their “sun” flashlights slowly melted their frozen worlds. #SpringdaleFamily
These Wildcats are cultivating curiosity through robotics, by exploring engineering and coding in action! #SpringdaleFamily
