🌊 Celebrating Source Water Protection Week! Students from Maumelle and Robinson High Schools' AP Environmental Science classes got hands-on with science at Lake Maumelle—Central Arkansas’s primary drinking water source! 💧

🚰 With guidance from Central Arkansas Water’s watershed management team, students waded into the Maumelle River, collecting fish 🐟 and macroinvertebrates 🪲 using seines and kick-nets. CAW staff helped identify the specimens 🔍 and explained their ecological significance 🌱.

✨ A powerful reminder of how education 📚 and environmental stewardship 🌍 go hand in hand!

👨‍⚖️ Nearly 100 students from every PCSSD high school took an oath this morning to serve in Teen Court! 👩‍⚖️

⚖️ Teen Court empowers students to act as judges, jurors, and advocates, using restorative justice to help their peers learn from mistakes and make better choices.

🏫 PCSSD is proud to be the only district in Arkansas with a school-based Teen Court model, where students earn class credit while gaining real-world experience in justice and leadership.

📊 Studies show that teens who participate in Teen Court are less likely to reoffend compared to those in the traditional court system—proof that student leadership makes a difference! #PCSSDproud #TeenCourt #ServeAll
