Be Bold. Be Brave. Be Bryant: Answering The Call
At Collegeville Elementary, being bold and brave means stepping up when students need you most. In July, the school faced a sudden need for a Special Education teacher: and Gina Milam answered the call.
“It was a hard one, in a way, because I didn’t wanna leave my team,” Milam said. “But those CBI babies, I really needed someone to step in and take that place. I already had the license to do it, so I wanted to try something new and be there for those kids.”
“Seeing those babies smile and light up and having someone there for them, and then also just seeing the growth they’ve already made in this school year—it’s been really fun,” she shared. “We just kind of formed this wonderful team—me and my three wonderful paras. We tackle all the challenges together to make those kids feel loved and appreciated.”
Assistant Principal Justin Leaton said her decision perfectly embodies this year’s district mantra. “Gina has really showcased ‘Be Bold, Be Brave, Be Bryant’ from the beginning this year. Starting off, we had a need in the CBI classroom, and she was anxious to jump in that role. That’s not the easiest thing to do, coming from a regular classroom into the special education world, but she embraced the challenge wholeheartedly.”
“She’s meeting every student where they are, to do what’s best for them,” Leaton added. “That’s our mission here at Collegeville—love, learn, and grow together—and Gina has done that wholeheartedly from day one.”
We sat down with Lauren Lisowe, Board Chairman of Bright Futures Bryant, to share how the program is meeting student needs within 24 hours and connecting our schools with community support.
From collecting Halloween costumes and hoodies to launching a student-led drive for ethnic hair products, Bright Futures is making a real difference for Bryant students and families. 💙

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. For the fourth year, our district is participating in the #GoGold campaign.
All Hornets are asked to #GoGold on Friday, September 26. Wear gold clothing/accessories or wear a gold ribbon. We are asking students to donate $1 and staff to donate $2. All donations will be given to Arkansas Children’s Hospital Hematology/Oncology Child Life Department to support children with cancer and their families.
Our youngest learners have been busy growing their brains, building friendships, and becoming part of our school family 💛
📚 They’re leveling up in Lexia and earning Golden Tickets for showing kindness, effort, and responsibility!
🧪 In science, they’ve been making predictions and testing them using the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty—yes, eggs were involved, and yes, it was awesome 🥚💥
📝 They’ve learned what a contract is and created their very own Class Social Contract—a shared promise to take care of ourselves, each other, and our space 🤝
✍️ Students are practicing how to hold a writing utensil correctly, and learning how to work in a group—taking turns, sharing ideas, and cheering each other on.
Every day, they’re not just learning—they’re becoming a school family. One golden ticket, one cracked egg, and one kind word at a time 💫
