This treehouse was extra special as it was built for the students of Clover Community School. Their mission is to activate the kids minds through the power of nature and community. In the market for a treehouse?! Reach out to Tyler at 805-591-0932
Giving back to the community is essential to what we do here at Smith & Associates. One way we do that is by highlighting small businesses around NWA. This week, our agent Jeff McGregor suggested the Clover Community School because of their positive impact on his family and on families all over NWA.
Have you heard of Clover Community School? If you're at the AIM Walk on Nov 5th you will get to meet the ladies behind this amazing school. Located on 5 acres of farmland right here in NWA the Clover Community School offers nature based learning for students of all abilities in grades K-8. Stop by their booth to learn more!
And don't forget, if you haven't created your AIM Walk team there's still time, www.aimnwa.org/aim-walk We hope to see you there!

What a great morning it was hosting students with Clover Community School! I tried REALLY hard to get them excited about journalism and the teleprompter, but it’s nearly impossible to compete with the green screen. 😂

Earlier this week, we got to spend some one-on-one time with the students of Clover Community School . The school is designed to help students with mental disabilities learn everyday tasks alongside their schoolwork in an environment that aligns with their needs.

Clover Community School and its students hold a special place in our hearts here at the bank. That's why we want to ask you all to join us in giving to their NWAGives campaign! The money raised during this campaign will assist the school in educating 5 additional students!

In 2020 AIM was able to give AIM2Educate Grants to 8 amazing Special Education Teachers in the Bentonville Public School District, to the Clover Community School, and to the Springdale School District. This would not have been possible without the support of Arkansas Community Foundation and our wonderful supporters.

It's been a super busy day, but it was all worth it having Clover Community School at the station to give them a tour of the TV station and teach them all about severe weather safety. These kids were precious and just adorable & really made my day at work.

Have you met Jill, the Clover Community School farm cat?

She is sweet, gentle and much-loved around our school. Every morning she greets the students with a meow, and during class she can't help but to lay on your schoolwork for attention. She helps our students to regulate their emotions, learn responsibility, practice empathy and so much more.

Volunteer Highlight: Meet Megan, or "Ms. Megan" as the students refer to her!

"I volunteer at Clover community school, because I love seeing the kids and working with them everyday! Each week I look forward to seeing the kids as they take care of the animals during chores! The kid's smiles while taking care of chickens, are so sweet, and I love hearing all the chicken related jokes that comes with it!" - Megan, 2023

Megan volunteers at our school a couple times a week for about 2 hours a day. She is kind, hardworking, dependable and super helpful in the classroom. Megan, thank you for being a part of our community at Clover Community School.

Volunteer Highlight:
Scott, or as the students call him, "Mr. Scott", "Sporty Scott" or "Uncle Scotty".

Scott volunteers at our school usually 1x a week. He likes to eat lunch and have recess with the students but has often changed up his schedule to accommodate projects that we ask of him. Our students look forward to having him around and notice when he can't make it.

Did you know he led the repainting of the carriage house on our property? Check out the comments for a video of that.

Scott, thank you for being a part of our community at Clover Community School.

Your financial support changes lives.

Meet Landon: Landon came to us from another private school, where he sat in the hallway all day and gnawed his shirts to tatters from anxiety. This friendly, intelligent and now confident student was in a school that couldn't support his learning style.

Check out his shirt now!

At Clover Community School, we provide project-based and experiential learning opportunities so each student can finally learn and grow. Animal therapy, garden math class, and a relationship-based teaching environment go a long way in calming a student like Landon.

Your donation will invest in the growth of students like Landon, giving them a place where their learning style matters.

And just like that, our school is growing. The newest addition?

Baby chicks!!

The smiles on the student’s faces says it all.

“Taking care of animals helps children learn responsibility, gentleness, and the importance of looking after other living things. They learn empathy and compassion. They also get to experience the joy of friendship with those animals.”
