✨ Introducing the Arndt Spark Award! ✨

This year, we are Igniting Excellence at Arndt Middle School—and what better way to celebrate the people who help our school shine than with a weekly Spark Award! 🔥✨

Each week, we’ll recognize a staff member who brings something special to our school community and share the reason they are a spark for others.

We’re excited to announce our very first Spark Award recipient: Mr. B. B. Bishop, 7th Grade Math Teacher! 🎉

Dr. Sims had the honor of making our first nomination, recognizing Mr. Bishop because he is always putting others first, handling life with grace, and being a blessing to those around him. ❤️

🏆 Happy National Coaches Day! 🏆

Today, we celebrate the incredible coaches at Arndt Middle School who do so much more than coach a sport. Our coaches pour into our student-athletes, encouraging them to work hard, believe in themselves, and grow both on and off the field.

They teach teamwork, perseverance, discipline, leadership, and what it means to be a good teammate—and their impact reaches far beyond the scoreboard. ❤️🩶

We are so grateful for the time, energy, and heart our coaches give to our Warriors every day!

Happy National Coaches Day to our amazing Arndt coaches! 🏆🏐🏈⚽🥎🏀🎾
