Week 29: Spring Break 2026

About this episode

Happy Friday!

As we reach Spring Break, I want to thank each of you for the work you have done throughout the school year so far. Education is demanding work that requires patience, persistence, and a constant focus on the needs of our students. The break ahead provides an opportunity to pause for a few days, spend time with family and friends, and recharge for the final portion of the year.

One thing that is always remarkable about the school calendar is how quickly the final weeks pass once Spring Break is behind us. When we return, we will soon find ourselves preparing for the many culminating moments of the school year, like student performances, competitions, end-of-year activities, and ultimately graduation. These moments remind us why the work we do throughout the year is so important.

Even during Spring Break, many of our student-athletes will continue representing Mena Public Schools in competition. We appreciate the dedication of these students, as well as the coaches and staff who will continue supporting them during the break. Their commitment reflects the same determination and perseverance we hope to cultivate in all of our students.

I hope each of you enjoys a safe and restful Spring Break. The work we do matters greatly, and taking time to rest allows us to return ready to finish the year strong for the students and community we serve.

It was a good week of preparation at Mena Public Schools.

At Mena Public Schools, our students are prepared, our staff is supported, and our community is confident.
