This is the current list of locations where grab-and-go meals will be provided during the week of spring break (March 23-March 27). Thank you to World Central Kitchen, Clinton Presidential Center and the City of Little Rock, AR for the joint effort in feeding our children.
In light of new information that has been received, the MHS 2020 Prom is going to be postponed at this time rather than cancelled. Please keep in mind that it may have to be cancelled so if you purchase attire, you will want to make sure you can return it. Sorry for the confusion. We hope this has not caused any inconvenience and we do hope that we can continue to have the prom this year.
We regret that the 2020 Maumelle High School prom has been cancelled due to the effects of COVID-19. We have been following the news carefully and feel that this is what is best for the health and safety of our students. It was not an easy choice to make, but because of the uncertainties surrounding the spread of the virus and the fact that Prom is in just one month, we had to come to this decision at this time.
Governor Hutchinson just announced that all schools K-12 in Arkansas will remain closed until April 17. We will update AMI plans, nutrition availability and more as soon as possible.
Happy First Day of Spring!
