A quiet spirit. A story worth sharing. A first-place finish. 💙

MHCA’s Reagan Souder earned 1st place in the 10-13 year old "Boating" division in the My Natural State Story contest, which drew more than 1,800 entries from across Arkansas!The celebration brought contest honorees to the Governor’s Mansion for recognition and an opportunity to meet Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Reagan isn’t one to seek the spotlight, so we’ll do a little of the cheering for her! We’re proud of her accomplishment and even prouder of the humble young lady we get to call part of our MHCA family.
Well done, Reagan! 💙

Attention K-12 Families:

If you are participating in the EFA program, your Classwallet account has already been funded! They had a processing error so the funds were distributed a little early. Today, I spent the morning sending the tuition payment requests. Please log into Classwallet at your earliest convenience and approve those requests. If you had additional funding leftover from a previous year and had reached out to me to send a second invoice for the parent portion, those requestst have been sent as well.

*Remember, to avoid a $75 late fee being charged to your FACTS account, you must approve these requests within 5 days from the sent requests. Reach out if you have any trouble or you notice an error, etc. (vpeglar@mhcaeagles.org)

Thank you- Vanessa
