December is Read a New Book Month! We asked our teacher librarians to share a recent book and why they loved it.
Kyra Bell, OAKBROOKE ELEMENTARY, read The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy. She loved the lesson that no matter who you are, what you look like, or how you act, your differences are what make you. That's all that matters"

ICYMI: During the month of November, the Sylvan Hills High Quiz Bowl team sponsored a No Shave November fundraiser for teachers and staff, raising $800 for the Arkansas Food Bank. The money will fund 4,000 meals for Arkansans in need.
During the school year, SYLVAN HILLS HIGH has the opportunity for TWO students to represent our school and student body at the monthly Board of Education meetings. Last night, senior Grace Burlison represented our school at the December meeting. We're so thankful for her hard work and willingness to represent the Bears. Way to go, Grace! Our next rep will be in April.

Throughout December, we'll share tips on how important proper nutrition is for all ages.
