Fayetteville Public Schools -

Fayetteville Public Schools was thrilled to welcome award-winning author Laurie Halse Anderson as part of the Blair Lecture Series, made possible through our annual partnership with the Fayetteville Public Library and the Fayetteville Public Education Foundation. Students from both our junior high and high schools were inspired by the New York Times best-selling author and her impactful stories. 💜

Holt Middle School students powered up their learning with help from the FPS Maintenance Department! Students discovered the many types of energy that keep our schools running every day and learned about the essential jobs behind the scenes that make it all happen.🔧

Staff from electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and carpentry, shared their expertise and real-world experiences, giving students an inside look at the important work they do.

💜 Thank you to our incredible FPS Maintenance team for bringing hands-on learning to life! 💡#fpsteachloveinspire

Holcomb Elementary celebrated its 30th birthday last night with a fun-filled party! Parents, students, teachers, administrators, former teachers and administrators, and special guests joined in the fun to honor this milestone. Margaret Holcomb was there to honor the evening, as the school is named in honor of her mother, Henrietta Holcomb. A highlight of the evening was the dedication of a special bench from the Holcomb PTA, a lasting tribute to 30 amazing years. Here's to 30 more!

Ms. Krementz’s science students at ALLPS experimented with milk and food coloring, watching a burst of color appear when dish soap was added!

Through this activity, students learned how to write lab reports, identify dependent and independent variables, and understand why changing only one variable at a time is key to a fair test. Experiments bring learning to life!

Get ready to dive in, because the Fayetteville High School and Arkansas Game and Fish Commission greenhouse management class are making waves!
This year marks another exciting collaboration with our region's fisheries biologist, Jonathan Stein. FHS students are hard at work utilizing the school's greenhouses to grow native aquatic plants, all in an effort to improve fish habitats right here in Northwest Arkansas.
Last year, students successfully stocked Bob Kidd Lake with these plants, and this year, their green thumbs are benefiting Beaver Lake. Our students will get the unique opportunity to head out to the lake and place the plants themselves, directly contributing to a healthier ecosystem.
Stay tuned for updates on this awesome project!

The Fayetteville High School Environmental Science classes recently established a “no mow” zone in the FHS courtyard which supports biodiversity and encourages pollinators and native plants to thrive. Right now the courtyard is buzzing with late summer life! Flowers are blooming, bees are busy, and caterpillars are preparing for their transformation. 🦋

The Family and Consumer Science classroom opens onto the courtyard, where students learn to grow, harvest, and cook vegetables in class as part of the curriculum.🍅

And the best part is we are not done! We will be expanding our schoolyard habitat by adding additional tiers of plant beds for native species in the years to come!💜
