Sheridan School District bus drivers Chris Neel, Markeeta Cunningham, Theresa Funderburg and Walter Whitmire were presented with “Difference Maker” awards at the district’s monthly school board meeting earlier this week. These drivers volunteered to attend the East End Elementary and East End Intermediate open house events in August. While at the open houses, the drivers talked to parents, explained the new bus rules, and assisted with questions about routes. They attended two nights of open house for two hours each time.
EEI Principal Dr. Amber Binz said, “These drivers are a perfect example of how our bus drivers continue to go above and beyond to take care of our students. They are always willing to help in any way. We are very excited about the new school year and grateful for what our drivers do each and every day to bring joy!”
Also pictured with the drivers are Dennis Emerson, Director of Administrative Services, and Dr. Binz. #YJNation #ChooseJoy
Sheridan High School senior Avery Williams has been named a semi-finalist in the 70th annual National Merit Scholarship Program. Williams is one of just 135 seniors in Arkansas to achieve this honor.
The pool of 2024-25 semifinalists is made up of fewer than 1% of U.S. high school seniors and includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state of the 1.3 million students nationwide who took the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test as juniors. The number of semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state's percentage of the national total of graduating seniors.
The Arkansas semi-finalists will now compete with 16,000 students nationwide for 6,870 National Merit Scholarships worth almost $26 million to be announced in four rounds in the spring.
Congratulations, Avery! #YJNation #ChooseJoy
