Belated congratulations to College Hill Elementary School

The US Department of Education announced last week that College Hill Elementary School in Texarkana has been officially recognized as a Blue Ribbon School, the only elementary school in Arkansas to have that distinction. The district held a celebratory press conference on Friday morning. Here's the article on that event. While I'm catching up on old news, here's an article on the status of navigation on the Red River. I was scheduled to attend both of these events but had to miss both of them due to the 9th Annual Government Practice Institute in Little Rock.
