We have lots of exciting things going on at McRae this month!

Harding University-Rock House Mentoring Program
Due to the increased volume of communication with COVID-19 points of contact, we are adding points of contact for individual campuses. Effective immediately, any staff member or parent of a student who tests positive for COVID-19 or is exposed to COVID-19, needs to call the point of contact associated with the correct campus. If your campus does not have a specified point of contact, please continue to call Dovie Baxter at 501-230-0383, and we will update you with your new point of contact as the information becomes available. Please do not email, text, or leave a voicemail. You must speak directly with the designated contact. If the contact does not answer your call immediately, she will return your call as soon as possible. The hours to report a positive case or exposure are seven days a week from 7:30 A.M.-8:00 P.M. Thank you for your cooperation, and please see the additional points of contact below:
McRae Elementary-Cynthia Cooper, 501-305-1685
Ahlf Junior High School-Kendra Wood, 501-254-9153
Searcy High School-Kayla Beard, 501-230-8399
Our Spring Scholastic Book Fair will be January 24-February 4. Due to strict covid restrictions, this book fair will look different than our fall fair. We strongly encourage our students to use ewallet instead of cash to help us limit exposure. Instructions for setting up an ewallet can be found on attached images.
Week 1 (January 24-January 28) students will create wish lists. There will be no student shopping during Week 1. You are not required to buy the books on your student’s wish list. There is a possibility that popular books will sell out and substitutions will need to be made.
Week 2 (January 31-February 1) students may shop during their designated library time. Students will only get one chance to shop the book fair. If their shopping time is missed for any reason, students can shop online at https://www.scholastic.com/bf/mcraeelementaryschool3.

Storytelling is the interactive art of using words and actions to reveal the elements and images of a story while encouraging the listener’s imagination. We are thrilled that Searcy High School theatre students visited our campus for storytelling this week.
We love PJ Day and can't wait to see all of the fun and festive jammies!
