Yellville-Summit Schools -

Yellville-Summit High School FBLA attended the Arkansas FBLA State Leadership Conference in Little Rock this week. Ava Chism competed in Introduction to Public Speaking, Lila Hurley competed in Future Business Educator, and Kyla Jackson competed in Organizational Leadership. Lila placed 4th in her event which qualifies her to compete at the National Leadership Conference in San Antonio this summer. Congratulations, Lila! Kyla was recognized at the awards ceremony for serving as a Social Media Ambassador while at the conference. Yellville-Summit FBLA received 5th place in Largest Chapter Membership among all the FBLA chapters in Arkansas. These young ladies represented our school and chapter exceptionally well. We are so proud of them and their accomplishments!

Dear Yellville-Summit Families, It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden passing of one of our valued cafeteria team members, Pam Foret, before school today on campus. We all loved her. Her kind smile and friendly words brought light to our campus. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends, and all who knew and loved her. This loss is deeply felt by our entire school community. At this time, we are focused on supporting our students and staff. Counselors are available on campus for anyone who may need someone to talk to. We are doing our very best to care for all students and to honor our staff member with dignity and respect. If you feel it is best to come to campus to see your child or check them out, you are absolutely welcome to do so. We understand that news like this can be difficult for children to process. We encourage you to check in with your child this evening and reach out to us if additional support is needed. We ask that you keep the family in your thoughts and allow privacy during this time. Thank you for your compassion and support as we navigate this together.

Yellville-Summit School District is excited to explore opportunities that support extended learning and enrichment for our students.
More information will be shared as it becomes available.

High school parents - be on the lookout!

Our fourth graders had an amazing time during Read Across America Week with a special visit from First Service Bank! Each student was excited to receive a book and a goodie bag to celebrate the joy of reading.

They also recently wrapped up their Dollars and Sense program with a field trip to Arvest Bank. Students enjoyed an informative bank tour followed by a fun trivia game and pizza. A big thank you to Arvest Bank for providing such a meaningful and engaging learning experience for our students!

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!

Let’s make a change together! 🐾💰
