High School Early Dismissal Class Schedule for 1/9/25
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Student safety is always AAA's top priority. Due to the forecasted weather for Thursday, January 9th, we are preemptively calling for an early release tomorrow. The elementary school will begin dismissal at 1:30 pm, and the high school will dismiss at 2:00 pm. Below are the early dismissal bus times.
The A3 gallery will feature a guest author and artist for January’s Art on the Bricks in downtown Rogers. The theme for this month is Resilience & Renewal. The featured author and artist is Alice Cunningham, a Springdale resident. Cunningham’s book, Abducted: My Struggle to Remember and her artwork recall the true account of being a victim of Human Trafficking. Alice repressed her memories from the tragic event until the age of 50 when she began to remember what occurred through dreams. “I believe I was channeling my 8-year-old self, and the pictures help validate my memories and help me express myself in non-threatening way”. Cunningham states.
Today at 85 years she shares her story of survival to bring awareness to the crime of Human Trafficking. Joining Cunningham at the A3 Gallery will be Hub of Hope, a non-profit organization dedicated to addressing and preventing Human Trafficking,
We invite you to join us at the A3 Gallery from 4:30-7:30 pm to meet Alice Cunningham and to learn more about her Resilience & Renewal from this act of crime. Cunningham’s artwork will be displayed in the gallery and her book Abducted: My Struggle to Remember will be available for purchase.

Today's been full of holiday cheer at the elementary school! 🎄✨ We kicked off the day by celebrating our December Herd Heroes, with amazing performances from 5th and 6th grade dancers and theater students. This afternoon, the fun continues with festive parties and a special treat in 4th grade, who are showcasing their work at a cozy Coffee House event. What a way to wrap up the season! 🎉
Save the Date!
A HUGE Holiday THANK YOU to Mrs. Jacqueline Curt for her years of service as an art teacher and her generous donations to Arkansas Arts Academy!
Mrs. Jacqueline Curt has been a friend to AAA since she moved to Rogers 8 years ago. An accomplished fibers artist as well as retired public art teacher (30 years), Jacqueline has been an tremendous supporter of our school and has donated an abundance of art materials, supplies and equipment over the years.
Because of her generosity we have had materials for arts integration projects, equipment for our K-12 art department and supplies for 3D/ fiber arts. Today she donated 3 lockable tool boxes, hardware, paint, tools, and canvas to the Tech Theatre department! In addition, she also donated a large amount of thread, yarn, beginning looms and weaving equimpment to the High School Fibers Club! I think she should change her name to Mrs. Claus...
Sadly our "Mrs. Claus" will be moving in the spring to be closer to her family. While we are sad to lose such a generous and creative spirit, we thank you for all that you have shared with our school and teachers and appreciate your support and your service as an educator. Thank you Jacqueline! We will miss you!
We are fortunate to have such strong support from the community. If you would like to donate to AAA contact foundation@artsk12.org or Aaron Jones ajones@artsk12.org
