Purple Star School District

 Bryant Public Schools was recently designated a Purple Star School District by the Arkansas Council for Military Children for its commitment to supporting and serving military children and their families. 

The district’s dedicated Military Education Coordinator, Beth Jaime, worked with John Kaminar, Military Family Support Specialist at DESE, and Terri Williams, Little Rock Air Force Base school liaison program manager, to help the schools and district secure the Purple Star designation. Mr. Kaminar and Ms. Williams presented the offical district and school banners at the school board meeting on February 13.
