Getting Smart for a Better World
As an EL Education school we look forward to active participation on Better World Day. Better World Day is an annual national event showcasing student learning that contributes to a better world. Students work in partnership with each other and their local communities on this day to engage in and celebrate meaningful student work that positively impacts the world around them. Students present learning projects and engage in acts of service that demonstrate the power of EL Education’s vision for public school: a place where children become great scholars and active citizens with the capacity to make a positive impact.
EL Education is a national nonprofit partnering with K-12 educators to transform public schools and districts into hubs of opportunity for all students to achieve excellent, equitable outcomes. EL Education is guided by a vision of education equity embracing the genius in every child and by a reimagined definition of student achievement. EL Education offers research-proven resources and practices, including the acclaimed EL Education K-8 Language Arts curriculum, Core Practices, and aligned professional learning. EL Education was founded in 1991 and currently serves 440,000 students in diverse communities across the country.
Our Conway Better World Day was a celebration of the transformation that has taken place at Conway. From creating a learning environment that cultivates change makers in the world to building a community of citizens who actively seek to value the differences with one another. On May 5th, Better World Day, 2023 we plan to send the ripples of transformation into our school community through acts of service.
Next time you are on campus, look around and see how students are making an impact on those around them. I love seeing students empowered to use their learning to create a better world 🌍
On Friday we closed with a school-wide Conway Community crew circle and if you listened closely, I’m sure you heard all of our students singing, Glorious.

I am grateful for the opportunity to inspire students to discover their unlimited potential through Excellence, Perseverance, Integrity, and Compassion. Together we are creating an EPIC school. Here is another example of our EPIC Crews.
We are in this together and believe, We Are Crew, not passengers.
In Crew,
Principal Meglich
