YMS 8th Grade Field Trip to Old Washington State Park! We recently took our 8th-grade students from YMS to Old Washington State Park for an exciting and educational experience. Students visited several historic locations, including the candle shop, where they had the opportunity to make their own candles, and the Sanders Homestead, where they learned about early farming, livestock, and life on the frontier. They also toured the Weapons Museum and explored the 1836 Courthouse, gaining valuable insights into our state's history.
HPS Magnet Team and YMS are incredibly proud of how well the students represented Hope, showcasing their enthusiasm and respect throughout the trip. It was a memorable day of learning and discovery!

Today is National Tradesmen Day! National Tradesmen Day is celebrated on the third Friday of September each year. A tradesman, by definition, is someone who acquired their skills through apprenticeship or vocational training/education. Such people are usually in the fields of building maintenance, carpentry, plumbing, electricity, and other similar industries. Without them, it would be impossible to lead a good life as living standards would drop due to the lack of building or maintenance. Irwin Trade, which is a world-famous company that sells quality tools, created National Tradesmen Day in 2011 as a way to honor the people of the industry. Tradesmen rise to the challenge, day in and day out, to provide their services and skills to the people who need them the most. Thank a tradesman or tradeswoman today for all they do to keep our society running!

A lunar eclipse will be visible for people in Arkansas and Oklahoma on Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2024.
The partial eclipse will coincide with a full moon and a supermoon, which occurs when the moon is closest to Earth.
Best Time To Watch
The eclipse will begin at 7:41 p.m. Central Time, but it will be difficult to notice until the Earth's shadow starts to cover the top edge of the moon at 9:13 p.m.
The eclipse will peak at 9:44 p.m.
There could be clouds in Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley, but conditions will likely be clear enough to see the eclipse.
The moon will finish exiting the full shadow at 10:16 p.m. and the partial shadow at 11:47 p.m.
What Is A Lunar Eclipse?
A lunar eclipse is when the moon passes into the Earth's shadow. This means that relatively little of the sun's light makes it to the moon.
The sunlight that does make it to the lunar surface has passed through the Earth's atmosphere. This light is at a longer, redder wavelength, making the moon appear red.
"It's as if all the world's sunrises and sunsets are projected onto the moon," according to NASA.
