Let's take a moment to recognize two of our recent Arp ISD KTBB 97.5FM Radio teachers of the month.
Arp Jr. High science teacher Janna Anderson earned the nod for January.
Then only in her second month on the job at Arp High School, special education teacher Angela Burkhalter was named February's district wide teacher of the month.
Appreciative of the accolade, Mrs. Anderson, who's spent a decade teaching at Arp ISD, stated, "This award shows recognition of all of my hard work and dedication I have for teaching my students, and being a part of the Arp community."
And as she continues to settle in, an excited Mrs. Burkhalter said, "I am honored to be recognized, and so thankful to everyone at the High School. They have been so supportive and patient as I learned how to navigate in this new role."

Elementary Parents,
With the seasons changing, here are a few reminders about dress-code that we need to emphasize. We really need your help with leggings and shorts.
What a fun way to close out the Apex Leadership Co two-week challenge especially on a rainy Friday. Fourth grade certainly had a blast. 📺WATCH📺: https://www.facebook.com/ArpElementary/videos/1595857727786319
But every grade level got to experience the Apex obstacle course. Thank you Arp, America for helping us raise lots of funds that will go a long way to help your students have more equipment to use during recess, and more options to enjoy themselves and grow.
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE?: Because they raised the most money💰during the last two days of the Apex Leadership challenge, Mrs. Susan Brooks' 2nd grade class got to toilet paper🧻 Arp Elementary Principal Mrs. Beth Hines' office Friday.
And she was such good sport about it.
