Now, they’re below 50 degrees.

Earlier this afternoon, a strong wind, out of the south ripped the metal roof of of this Midway Route home, near Wilson Mill Road.  No one was at home at the time.  The only other damage was a tree that was blown down.

Tonight, please take care of your pets, plants, and pipes, as overnight lows are forecast to drop into the 20’s.

That, my friends, is Southeast Arkansas weather.

Happy “18th” Birthday Jordan Shelton

Love Always,

Mom

Drew Central Fourth Graders in Eva Arrington’s class have read the children’s classic The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. It was the fantasy epic of our time. Students and their parents met at the theater and viewed the movie as a group.

Students learned research skills when their curiosity led them to discovering the meaning and origin of runes. The students completed an in depth literature study using the novel and viewed the movie as a celebration. Upon returning to school, students wrote an opinion piece on which they liked best, the novel or the movie.
