Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Forest Park Elementary School for over 100 years of success in central Arkansas. Built in 1913, Forest Park offers a variety of educational clubs and experiences that support life skills and encourage teamwork, good sportsmanship and academic growth. I loved my elementary school years at Forest Park, and I am happy that my children enjoyed a fine experience in those halls as well. Located in the heart of Little Rock, Forest Park is led by Principal Theresa Courtney-Ketcher and serves 460 students in pre-K through fifth grade. During the 2013-2014 school year, Forest Park was recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the U.S. Department of Education. This school is consistently a top ranked elementary school in Arkansas. I would like to extend my congratulations to Principal Courtney- Ketcher, Forest Park Elementary and its faculty, and wish it much continued success in the generations to come. ____________________
