Award

The Arkansas Council for Exceptional Children awarded Sylvan Hills Middle School a $500 grant to purchase new equipment for the Life Skills classroom kitchen.

The new equipment will enable students to be exposed to opportunities to plan and prepare meals allowing the students an opportunity to expand their skills in order to be able to be more self-sufficient later in life by being able to prepare their own meals with minimal supervision.

The grant was awarded to Mr. Reid Altom and Ms. Anna Underwood this week during a luncheon as part of the Arkansas Council for Exceptional Children Conference.
