Viola FBLA would like to extend a sincere thank you to Trevor Himschoot of Himschoot Insurance Agency and Melinda Wray of GTS Physical Therapy for their generous donations to help Meredith Deane attend the FBLA National Leadership Conference in San Antonio, Texas, this summer.
Meredith earned this opportunity by placing 1st in Securities and Investments at the Arkansas FBLA State Leadership Conference. She will now have the honor of representing Viola High School and Arkansas FBLA on the national stage.
Opportunities like this are made possible because of the support of our community. Donations help cover the cost of travel, lodging, meals, and other expenses involved in attending the national conference. We are so thankful for those who are willing to invest in our students and help them experience opportunities beyond the classroom.
Meredith is still raising funds for her trip. Anyone who would like to make a donation or learn more about supporting her may contact Viola High School at 870-458-2213 or email Regina Snelgroes at regina.snelgroes@violalonghorns.org.
Thank you again to Himschoot Insurance Agency and Melinda Wray of GTS Physical Therapy for supporting Meredith and Viola FBLA. Your generosity is truly appreciated.

Important message regarding ACT scores for Juniors: Based on its continual evaluation of scores, ACT has informed us that it needs to reissue scores for students who took the ACT online during the school day this spring. If you are among those students, your current score will be removed from your MyACT account on Wednesday, May 13. When scores are available again (no later than June 2), your Composite score and section scores will remain the same OR go up slightly based on your individual performance. Your scores will NOT be lower than what was previously released. There is no action you need to take. ACT will post revised scores on MyACT and will be resending scores to your school. If you previously opted to send scores via ACT to a college, university, or scholarship-awarding organization, they, too, will be sent any updated scores.
