💥 CALLING ALL SUPERHEROES & VILLAINS! 💥
Even superheroes have a communication mix-up now and then! 🦸♂️😅 We’ve gotten our signals straight, and the official mission for this Friday is…
🦸♀️ SUPERHERO vs. VILLAIN DAY! 🦹♂️
Students, pick your side, plan your look, and get ready for a SUPER Spirit Friday!
Thanks for rolling with our little mix-up. We can’t wait to see everyone suited up on Friday to cheer on the Leopards as they travel to White Hall! ⚡
💥Please keep costumes school-appropriate and leave toy weapons at home.
#LeopardPride

Monday, September 28 at 6:00 p.m. our 7th grade Leopards will have a Black & White intrasquad scrimmage!
Ashdown canceled Tuesday’s 7th grade game due to low numbers, so we wanted to make sure our 7th graders still get some game action.


🍎 Serving Up Something Special at De Queen Public Schools! 🐆
Our Food Service Department does so much more than serve meals—they find ways to make our students feel supported, celebrated, and cared for!
From bringing some fun to lunchtime with Pizza Daze to preparing and delivering after-school snacks for our student-athletes, our food service team is always going the extra mile for our Leopard Family.
September also brought a special celebration of culture as our kitchen staff prepared pozole and colorful Jell-O in recognition of Mexican Independence Day, sharing food, heritage, and tradition with our students.
And we can’t let the month go by without recognizing Chef Brad and our incredible food service staff for the creativity, hard work, and heart they bring to our schools every single day.
Take a look at the September Food Services Newsletter to see what they’ve been cooking up!
We appreciate our Food Service Department and all they do for our Leopard Family! 💛🖤🐆 #LeopardFamily #LeopardPride
