Walmart 2575 helps 10
educators at Anne Watson
As Bigelow educators continue to dedicate their time and
money in our youths’ future,
Walmart is helping 10 teachers
at Anne Watson Elementary to
purchase much-needed classroom supplies this back-toschool season through its
Teachers Reward program.
Walmart 2575, 3900 Dave
Ward Drive, Conway, started
the school year right on Sept. 15
through Teachers Rewards Program when it honored the 10
teachers with Teachers Rewards
cards.
Teachers across the country
spent more than $1.33 billion
out of pocket collectively on
school supplies, snacks and
instructional materials during
the 2009 to 2010 school year,
according to the National
School Supply and Equipment
Association, a trade association
for education product companies. Through its Teacher
Rewards program, Walmart and
Sam’s Club locations nationwide are investing $4.5 million
in America’s teachers, providing 45,000 educators gift cards
to help teachers offset the cost
of classroom expenses.
“Walmart appreciates the
impact teachers continue to
make in our community,” said
Teo Alderson. “We know our
educators contribute not only

Teacher Rewards program is
our way of saying ‘thank you’.”
Principal Stacy DeFoor stated: “It is great for our teachers
this appreciation by Walmart
2575 in Conway. This is another testimony of the great things
we are doing to insure academic
success for our students.”
Through the Teacher Reward
program, local Walmart stores,

able to use the funds to purchase
essential items for their classrooms such as paper, folders,
binders, clipboards, pens, pencils, crayons and markers.
In its third year, the Teacher
Rewards program is an extension of Walmart's ongoing support of education and local community involvement. In 2010,
Walmart and its foundation
gave more than $89 million to
fund educational, health and
children’s programs to help students in communities across the
country better prepare for their
future.
MARY LYNN MENTZ, district wildlife biologist for the
Jessieville-Winona-Fourche District of the Quachita National
Forest, purchased educational supplies called the “American
Painted Lady Butterflies in the Classroom Kits.” Each kit
included a dozen larvae and net basket. The students were able
to watch as the butterflies changed from the larvae and then
were released by Brenda Hampton, shown in photo, sixth-grade

We have had a very good
week. We met a lot of really nice
people and really enjoy them.
Cathy Anthony from Conway
brought her mother who is 84
years old to do some fishing. She
is just a great lady and really
enjoys fishing. It is really a blessing to see us older ones enjoying
our day.
Chris Horn and his wife and
John and P.J. Fraize came from
Hot Springs. They caught some
nice catfish. John also plays a
mighty good guitar. We really
enjoy that.
Roy Fowler and Mrs.
Flewellen came by Friday night
to hear some music. Also this
past Friday my daughter, Cindy,
was presented a mandolin from
the owners of Harris Brake for
her enthusiasm for music. She
does a great job playing and
singing.
Bill, Willie, Mike, Doyle and
Cindy play some fine music.
Have you ever thought about
how much talent we have here in
Perry County? We should have
another Mountain View night
here in our hometown.
Autumn is here. Hope we have
the pretty color leaves this year
after having such a hot summer.
I enjoy this kind of weather but
I don’t like winter. I have a hard
time staying warm. I know we
have to take the bad with the
good so I am going to be thankful for the good and try not to
complain too much about the
bad.
