COVID-19 UPDATE Last week, Governor Hutchinson announced that all public health directives (with the exception of the mask mandate) are changing to public health guidance. While a directive is a mandate, the Governor said that guidance is a strong recommendation. Governor Hutchinson will reassess the state's progress in the COVID-19 pandemic as we approach March 31. School districts have been given the authority to continue requiring students, staff, and visitors to abide by Arkansas Department of Health guidance, which includes wearing masks and social distancing. At this time, nothing has changed for staff, students, or visitors to schools/events at Lake Hamilton. The Lake Hamilton School District believes the reason we have made over 115 days of onsite instruction is by following and adhering to Arkansas Department of Health guidelines. Even though the directives (with the exception of the mask mandate) have been changed to guidelines, the district is still required to follow the quarantine and contact tracing guidelines. All staff, students, and visitors on campus will be required to continue wearing masks and social distancing until further notice. #LHWolfNation

Y.E.S. COMPETITION Lake Hamilton Gifted and Talented students have been offered virtual and onsite opportunities this year. The students chose a project related to their own interests. The sixth grade group (pictured) chose to compete in the Youth Entrepreneur Showcase (Y.E.S.) project sponsored by Arkansas Capital Corporation. The Y.E.S. competition is a project where students write a business plan, create a product, and explain how to produce, sell and promote their product. This group of students chose to start a business called Split Snack. It is a plastic bag to hold more than one snack. They also researched plastic waste and how their product may help in slowing waste. Each year at the Arkansans for Gifted and Talented Education conference the winners of the competition display their products. Students pictured (L-R): Eli McCain, Kline Carson, Myers Manatt, Lily Pielemeier, Jacey Mullenix #LHWolfNation
