Capstone Theme: Why Global Issues in Arkansas?

Interview with Jacob Howard: Trip Curriculum Committee Chair

When deciding on a theme for this year's Capstone conference and trip the curriculum committees knew that the environment would play a key role. There were multiple themes considered before Global Issues in Arkansas became the decided theme. In addition to Global Issues in Arkansas, two others: The Natural State and Renewable Energy in Arkansas. were considered.  Ultimately, the curriculum committees felt that focusing on global issues impacting Arkansas was an important step in raising awareness among the 8th grade class and the local community.  At the conclusion of the conference and trip, the curriculum committees hope that the 8th grade class will understand that global issues impact everyone.
