Little Rock Serves Launched at King

Martin Luther King Elementary EAST Students (Frost 3rd Grade Team and Vanpatter 4th Grade Team) participated in the Little Rock Serves Launch of its Signature Impact Initiative, Childhood Obesity Prevention and Intervention Program on Wednesday, March 30. The four components of the project include targeting elementary schools with a new classroom nutrition program; a garden-enhanced component; an incentivized student walking program, and a parental mentoring program aimed at increasing access to health foods through an at-home garden.


King EAST Students participated in the planting of an additional garden bed sponsored by the project at the school and will expand their Adopt-A-Garden Project with help from the partnership. See the photograph and caption from the Arkansas Democrat Gazette at arkansasonline.com/galleries (Search Text: Serves and Date: March 31).

The Backpack and Shoebox project (Spradlin's 4th Grade Team) has received over 200 hygiene items from Antioch Full Gospel Baptist Church. Twenty-eight packs (about 5 hygiene products per pack) of items were donated to Treatment Homes, Inc, a foster care organization. The remaining items have been retained at school for backpacks that the team is still working to obtain for the school counselor’s and/or nurse’s office.

King EAST Hosts First Annual Basketball Competition

In Mrs. Harris's 5th Grade Class, a group of girls wanted to help pets and a group of boys wanted to have a basketball competition to benefit a charity. The facilitator suggested they join forces. After submitting proposals to the school principal and presenting to the PTA Fall Fest Committee, Points 4 Paws/Caring 4 Animals joined forces to impact over 200 students and adults at the PTA sponsored Fall Fest through a basketball competition and by dispersing brochures and information cards about pet adoption through Care For Animals and listed regulations concerning pets in the City of Little Rock. The groups hope to have a Spring Event with basketball and a week of activities devoted to pets.
