Good Afternoon!
Due to the low amount of ticket sales for the Spring Fling, which was scheduled for this Saturday, March 15th, the dance has been cancelled. Students who have already purchased tickets should see Ms. Jackson at the main campus for a refund. Thank you all for your help and willingness to make this dance a success.

Our Yearbook and Journalism students went on a field trip last week to Content Titan (a marketing and videography company) and Arkansas Business Publishing Group. Mitch Bettis, who is president of ABPG, graciously invited us and hosted us at both places. They even paid for pizza for our students! The students were given the opportunity to be in their own marketing video and here it is! I was so proud of their willingness to go in front of the camera. They also learned about the process of selling ads for a magazine, creating a magazine from start to finish, and how to market to a target audience. They represented Joe T. Robinson well and I think had fun along the way.
Here is the video they made
