Join us in welcoming COURTNEY WARREN to Louise Durham Elementary. Mrs. Warren will be teaching 2nd grade. My name is Courtney Warren. I am from Russellville AR, where I attended Arkansas Tech University and obtained a Bachelors degree in Business Administration. I moved to Mena with my husband, had a son, and after subbing for a year, I decided to pursue a career in teaching. My faith is very important to me, and I truly believe God called me to this profession so that I could make a difference in the children of our community. I love spending quality time with my family, hiking, yoga, and traveling. I cannot wait for the upcoming school year, and I am so excited to begin teaching second grade!

Mena High School seniors Austin Rose and Jarrett Burger qualified to compete in the 2 day TBF National Qualifier held on Lake Millwood over the weekend. Austin and Jarrett were in 1st and 2nd place after the first day! When the dust settled on day two, Austin ended up taking 3rd place. Jarrett couldn’t get a big Bass in the boat that would have gave him a chance to be in the top 5 as well. Austin & Jarret will now set their sights on the High School National Championship on Lake Hartwell in South Carolina.
