Even without internet access earlier this week, students in the Arkansas Children’s Academy of Business – Management/Marketing pathway stayed fully engaged. Mrs. Briggs challenged them to build the tallest free‑standing marshmallow tower.

“This was a great collaboration activity that also showcased who in each class steps up as leaders and who thinks outside the box,” Briggs said.

Congratulations to Reece Mills, Riley Smith, Shayla Nixon, and Harrison Merchant for building the tallest free‑standing tower at 19 inches.

Honorable mention goes to Kenyon Holt, Landon Toney, Asia Jackson, and Dawson Young for taking second place with a free‑standing tower at 18 inches.
