To best represent their area, each school in the district set up a table with appropriate objects. One former student of North Little Rock who is now a principal gave her opinions on the district as a whole.
âWe really are on the road to making great games. I see a lot of positive changes and a lot of positive going on in our schools, and we’re putting kids first,” Lakewood Elementary Principal, Cortney Bost, said.
The district said they intend to hold this event every year and hold more exhibitions all through the academic year.
âOne of the greatest things about our communities… We’re a diverse community. We’re a school system that is on the rise and just is filled with a variety of individuals that are committed to the education a high-quality education of every single child,” Pilewski said.
The superintendent claims that even though the North Little Rock School District already has over 7,000 children enrolled, they are prepared to accept as many new students as they can.
