**Access to federal funds for families in Arkansas with the Child Tax Credit**
Families with no income or low income could get at least $3,000 per child with the Child Tax Credit, plus $1400 with the third stimulus payment - even if they have never filed taxes before (and if they have not yet already filed taxes this year).
There is now an easy form for people to file on their mobile devices in 15 minutes or less in English or Spanish. People have until November 15 to sign up this year at GetCTC.org/arschools.
Wednesday is our homecoming parade! Dress in layers and come celebrate! Parade begins at 5:30 at Redeemer Lutheran Church and ends at Guy Berry College & Career Academy.
HUGE thanks to everyone who makes this parade possible!
We appreciate Frank Vacco of Vacco Insurance coming recently to speak to Mrs. Holmes Foundations of Healthcare students.
Congratulations to this year's Homecoming Court!

As soon as dates and times are available, more information will be provided. In order for a student to participate, they must meet some very specific guidelines.
