Last Friday 4th Grade students held their product market in the cafeteria.

Students worked in groups to develop products, advertisement, and pricing for the market. Both 1st graders and 4th graders got an opportunity to spend the Bronco Bucks they earned over the past weeks to purchase products the group made.

There was a wide array of products from origami to squishes and pens and much more!

The cafeteria was buzzing with activity and was a very successful market!

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! 💜

Butterfield Trail Elementary 4th graders had an amazing day at Apple Seeds Farm! 🌱

Students explored the farm, harvested fresh produce, and learned firsthand how food grows while gaining hands on experience with nutrition and healthy choices.

We’re grateful for this meaningful partnership that helps students connect with nature, learn where their food comes from, and build lifelong healthy habits. 💜
