Congratulations Ms. Bubendorf!

We are delighted to announce that Ms. Samantha Bubendorf has been named Walnut Ridge's Governor's Educator of the Year! As the principal of Walnut Ridge, I have personally witnessed the positive impact Samantha has had on our students. Her dedication to her students is commendable, and she truly deserves this recognition.  

Thank you for sharing your children with us.

Sincerely,

Vinny
