Yellville-Summit Schools -

Mr. Stolz, from Farm Bureau Insurance, came to read the Farm Book of the Year to Ms. Davenport’s class. He even gifted us a few copies for our classroom library! Thank you for sharing your time and helping our students learn more about agriculture.

Join the Panther Band this Saturday for their annual Concert Band Assessment. Admission is free. Come support our hardworking band members if you are able!

Yellville-Summit jumped in for a great cause! These “Penguin” Panthers took the plunge on Feb. 28 and raised the most money of any school, earning 1st place while supporting Special Olympics. We are so proud of our students and community for making a difference!

Please congratulate Carter Metcalf on a fantastic achievement! Carter placed 5th out of the 55 amazing spellers at the Arkansas State Spelling Bee on Saturday, March 7th! This year’s bee will also be broadcast on Arkansas TV, formerly known as Arkansas PBS, on April 2 at 7 p.m. We are proud of you, Carter!

Middle school parents and guardians - new location for parent/teacher conferences!

Coach Martin's Physical Computing students have officially finished their cardboard car projects, and the results are amazing! From the early planning stages—researching vehicle ideas and designing diagrams—to building and wiring their cars with switches and motors, students worked through the full engineering process.

These projects challenged students to think creatively, solve problems, and apply what they’ve learned about circuits, design, and teamwork. The finished cars show just how much innovation and effort went into each build.

Great job to all of our students for their hard work and creativity! 👏 We’re proud of the engineering and perseverance you showed throughout this project.

🐾🧡 Panthers Change Lives Change Drive 🧡🐾

Tomorrow kicks off our annual Panthers Change Lives Change Drive! Spare change will be collected, and all money will support the Y-S Backpack Program, which combats hunger in our community!

🏆 The grade that brings in the most money in each building wins a prize!
🧡 Wear ORANGE on Wednesday to show your Panther pride!

Let’s make a change together! 🐾💰

Yellville-Summit won third place at the 3A-3 Regional quiz bowl tournament hosted at Mountain View High School today - Saturday, March 7th. Congratulations, Panthers, we are proud of you! A big congrats to Kieran Spence for earning All-Tournament by averaging at least 5 correct answers per game. The team has qualified for the State tournament to be held in April.

A HUGE thank you to School Board members Robin Lee, Travis Doshier, and Eleanor Davenport, along with former teacher Renee Thieme and elementary librarian Sharon Devore, for being guest readers in the middle school library!

Reading with our 5th and 6th graders helped make Read Across America Week even more special alongside all of our other fun activities. We appreciate you taking the time to share the joy of reading with our students!

Ms. Simons' Biology students were busy investigating the invisible magic of photosynthesis. To see it in action, we used Elodea (a common aquatic plant) and Bromothymol Blue (BTB)—a special indicator that changes color based on the amount of carbon dioxide present in the water.

By observing the BTB shift back to a vibrant blue as the plants absorbed carbon dioxide and released oxygen, we were able to see the evidence of gas exchange happening right before our eyes. It was incredible to watch these aquatic plants prove they are powerful little oxygen-producing factories!

High School Parent-Teacher Conferences – A Little Something New!

We’re doing something a little different for high school Parent-Teacher Conferences this time!

Parents will still have the opportunity to visit with teachers from 1:30–7:30 PM in Panther Pavilion.

In addition, we will be hosting grade-level parent meetings in the High School Library to share updates about new diplomas and course opportunities for our students and provide reminders about the wonderful programs and supports we already have in place. Please use the high school entrance at the student gravel parking lot.

Please see the times for each grade level below. We hope you’ll join us and take advantage of both opportunities!

We look forward to seeing you there!

Sweeten your day and support a great cause! 🍰 Y-S Student Council is selling Nothing Bundt Cakes, and every bite helps our students make a difference. Grab one (or three 😉) before they’re gone!

Do you have a graduate this year? Don't miss out on ordering a page for the yearbook! Orders have been extended until March 6th.

The Y-S 4th grade quiz bowl team took first place in their division today at ASUMH. The “Battle of the Buzzers” was hosted by Cotter Public Schools. Emma Dubuque was awarded a medal for all-tournament. All-tournament recognition is earned by averaging at least 5 correct answers per game. Great job, Panthers! We are proud of your accomplishment!
