Students at Leverett Elementary School were excited to welcome award winning author and illustrator Zeke Peña for a special author visit featuring his picture book, “Sundust”.
Zeke shared how his love of family, desert landscapes, and storytelling inspired his work and showed students how memories and imagination can become stories.
Students also enjoyed a live illustration demonstration and had the chance to ask questions about his creative process and life as a professional artist.
Thank you, Zeke, for inspiring our young readers and artists!

The FHS Performing Arts Center was full of music, energy, and recorder notes as Fayetteville Public Schools fourth graders took part in “The Orchestra Swings” with the Arkansas Philharmonic Orchestra! 🎶🎻
Through Carnegie Hall’s Link Up program, students experienced an interactive concert where they sang, danced, and performed alongside professional musicians. With support from APO musicians, FPS music teachers, and Fayetteville High School students, our fourth graders confidently played along and became part of the orchestra experience themselves.
It was a fun filled day of music making, movement, and memorable performances for students across FPS! 💜
