Fayetteville Public Schools’ annual District Art Show is now on display at the Fayetteville Public Library! We loved seeing students and families enjoying the artwork together at the reception, featuring over 140 pieces from Kindergarten through 12th grade.

The exhibit highlights the incredible talent of our students and the inspiring work happening in our Visual Arts classrooms across the district. You can view the collection in the McIlroy Hallway near the Event Center until April 6th.

Be sure to stop by and celebrate the creativity and talent of our amazing young artists! 💜

Our school community had an unforgettable experience with our recent One School, One Read featuring Fenway and Hattie by Victoria J. Coe! The excitement grew even more on Monday, September 29th, when the author herself visited our school. Students were thrilled to meet Ms. Coe, get their books signed, and hear her share behind-the-scenes writing tips along with fun facts about Fenway and Hattie that most readers would never know. The visit brought the story to life in new ways, and together we enjoyed the adventure of imagining the world through the eyes of a lovable dog—an experience that left tails wagging and imaginations soaring!
