Dear Trojan Families and Fans, 

We have some exciting news to share — and we need your help! Hot Springs Junior Academy EAST students, Trinity Moss, Ethan Peabody, and James Hall, won the Make 48 Region 1 POD 3 Sustainability In View Sponsored Challenge and now they’ve earned the opportunity to compete on a national stage.

Next stop: Wichita, Kansas for the Make 48 National Competition, March 20–22 — a live, televised event where they will represent Hot Springs Junior Academy and the entire Trojan community! Make 48 is an intense 48-hour innovation challenge where students:
• Design and build a working prototype
• Develop a marketing plan and commercial
• Pitch live to a panel of judges

This invite-only national competition is an incredible honor. To help make this opportunity possible, we are seeking donations to offset travel expenses. Every donation — large or small — makes a difference and helps our students represent Hot Springs with pride.

Thank you for always supporting our students and believing in their innovation, leadership, and determination. Let’s rally behind Trinity, Ethan, and James as they take Trojan excellence to the national stage!
