The Blytheville Lady Chickasaws volleyball team on Aug. 26 lost three hard-fought games to Trumann 10-25, 15-25 and 20-25 at the Auxiliary Gym, and the “B” Lady Chickasaws were defeated by the junior varsity Lady Wildcats 21-25.
We want to address a very important matter which is being shared on social media.
On August 20, an Arkansas school district posted information they received from the FBI office located in Little Rock related to a possible school shooting in Arkansas (August 29th) and Kentucky (August 28th). The FBI could not confirm the source of the reporting party.
Although we are not aware of any threats to our county or city, Blytheville Public Schools is working closely with federal, state and local law enforcement about this matter. School Resource Officers and Blytheville Schools Commissioned Security Officers are present at every campus in order to protect students and faculty.
We will take all steps necessary to protect our children.
Congratulations to ALE teacher Vickie Ratliff on being recognized by ADE for your contributions to the Youth Risk Behavior Survey!
