Greetings Conway Community!
We came to the end of another incredible year at our expeditionary learning school, I am filled with gratitude and pride for the remarkable journey we have embarked upon together.This year has been a journey of growth, exploration, and discovery, and I am so proud of each and every one of you for your hard work, perseverance, and dedication to our shared vision and mission.
Our school has been a place of boundless curiosity, where students have delved into the unknown, challenged themselves to think critically, and engaged in hands-on, experiential learning. From field work to service projects, from interdisciplinary investigations, also known as expeditions, to authentic assessments, our students have embraced the ethos of expeditionary learning with passion and dedication.

Student Leadership
Congratulations 6th graders
Second Grade High Quality Work
I am constantly inspired by the creativity, resilience, and compassion that our students demonstrate each and every day. They have shown us that they are not only capable of tackling complex challenges, but also of approaching them with a sense of wonder and discovery that is truly awe-inspiring. As seen here in this beautifully sculpted blue iguana created by our second grade student.
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our dedicated staff, who have worked tirelessly to create a learning environment that is engaging, supportive, and inclusive. Your commitment to our school's mission, vision and values is the foundation upon which our learners' success is built, and I am grateful for everything you do to nurture their growth and development.
Traditional 5th & 6th Grade Student Versus Staff Kickball Game
Our annual staff versus student kick ball game was tied until that last inning. Staff crew brought it home, 7 to 6 was the final score. An EPIC tradition rooted in CREW that celebrates strong connections and a sense of belonging.
