On Friday, a team of Maumelle High School teachers and students collected a truckload of items for victims of the recent tornado, as well as $1,000 in cash, plus gift cards. On Saturday, they partnered with Habitat for Humanity to take 70 students, teachers and parents to Mayflower to help with clean-up efforts.

The team witnessed the devastation up close and heard stories from the families who lived through the disaster. While they were removing rubble from one of the sites, the leader in charge of volunteers told the team it belonged to a 78-year-old woman who survived by going to the corner of the house. They met her later and learned she had been a secretary for the counseling department at PCSSD’s Oak Grove High School.

"Today was spirit day at Wooster elementary. Instead if wearing our normal panther blue, our students wore red and purple to show out support Vilonia and Mayflower! This is Sunni Knapp and Madelyn Larrimore with their #ArkanSTRONG shirts showing their support!"
