🥜 3,421 jars of peanut butter—and a win over Benton! Way to go, Hornets! 💙
The annual Salt Bowl Peanut Butter Drive wrapped up at the end of September, and the final count is in. Bryant took the win in our annual contest with Benton, and our schools had some friendly competition of their own.
🏆 Bethel Middle School: 969 jars
🥈 Bryant Elementary: 965 jars
🥉 Springhill Elementary: 458 jars
Bethel claimed the top spot, edging out longtime champion Bryant Elementary by just four jars.
Thank you to the students, staff, families, and community members who donated. Your generosity helps stock our school food pantries and provides peanut butter for students facing food insecurity to take home each weekend. #ExperienceBryant
At Bryant Junior High, Principal Dr. Laura Fee sees that spirit in classrooms where students are engaged, in school events filled with Hornet pride, and in students coming together to give back to their community. 🔗 bit.ly/4hIlMGR

Dr. Angie Dischinger, Bryant’s Assistant Superintendent for Secondary Education, shared that message today at UALR with school counselors from across Arkansas. She highlighted the difference counselors make when they see a student’s potential, listen to their goals, and help them build a path forward.
Bryant’s partnership with UALR puts that message into action. Through a direct admissions agreement, Hornets can receive proactive college acceptance based on their existing academic records, making the path to college easier to navigate.
UALR also provided seven $1,000 scholarships for counselors to award to students, helping make that next step more affordable.
We’re grateful for our high school counselors and the partners who help our students turn possibilities into plans.
From preparing our buildings for each school day to lending a hand wherever needed, our custodians take pride in caring for the spaces where students learn. Their work makes a difference in every school, every day.
To our custodial team: We see your hard work, appreciate your dedication, and are grateful you’re part of our One Team! Thank you for all you do!

Thank you, Bryant principals, for your dedication to our students, staff, and school communities!
