The week of March 3-7 is an exciting one in the Hot Springs School District, highlighted by Read Across America as students celebrate the joy of reading with special activities and guest readers. Spring sports are also in full swing, with athletes hitting the fields, courts, and tracks to kick off their seasons. The week wraps up with Student Choreography Showcase VII, where talented students take center stage to present their original dance pieces, bringing creativity and passion to the spotlight.
