Welcome to Vaughn Elementary

The community is  invited to attend the Vaughn Elementary

 ribbon cutting and open house on Monday, July 18,5:30-7:30.

I can't wait!

I've been excited since the Bentonville School Board chose

the name Vaughn Elementary. It was a labor of love for several 

community members to speak up for the name that brings

many fond memories of school days at the original 

Vaughn School.

The new Vaughn Elementary is located at

5301 SW Barron Road, Bentonville.

Since the new school is located on the southwest side

of our farm, I have watched the construction through 

every phase. It is a beautiful campus. 

This new school definitely changes the landscape of 

our community and our farming community.

At night with all the lights  it looks like a small city! 

It is my hope that  students that attend this school

will love their school like those who attended the

original Vaughn School.

                                                       Welcome to Vaughn Elementary!

                                          

                                        

                                           

                                                   
 

Thankful Thursday

After the chores were finished, our family  gathered around the table for

our traditional  July 4th picnic supper in the cool of the air conditioner and

then made our journey to the pond for a fantastic fireworks display.

We all have a few mosquito and chigger bites but it was worth it

for the fun we had.

I am thankful for the many July 4th  memories we have

 made in this pastoral spot on the farm,

for the curious guests that joined in the fun until the first 

fire cracker was lit,

for the two inches of rain we received that 

allowed us to plant  part of our fall crop,

and

 for the freedoms we enjoy every day!

                                                            God bless America!
