Kasey Estes holds her son Anzel, while his sister, Lula, student Ethan Ellzday, staff Rebecca Buchannan, student June Van Dine, and School Director Melissa Graham engineer LEGOs during a recent summer day camp.

The independent private Ann Brown Memorial School in south Fayetteville, which can accomodate up to 20 students aged five to 15, has become the first Sudbury school in Arkansas. Sudbury schools employ democratic decision-making where everyone, including the smallest children, vote on all aspects of school operations.
