We have a lot of fun events planned for October! Color Days, Title I Reading Night, Red Ribbon Week, Halloween Parade, and the Fall Festival (November 1) and more!
Good evening, Bulldog families. I have four announcements for upcoming events this week. First, Fall pictures will be taken on Tuesday, October 1st. Be sure to send students with their best smiles. Second, we will hold a meeting on Thursday evening, October 3rd, at 6:30 PM for the families of students in fourth and fifth grades about details of the proposed field trip to Washington, DC. It is extremely important that anyone interested in the trip attend this meeting. Third, on Friday, October 4th, you are invited to join our kindergarten students in wearing pink! They will be hosting a series of color days and the first one if this Friday. Finally, in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, there are many of our Western North Carolina neighbors left without necessities. We will be working with Nickelston Fence Service to collect items they will deliver for us in two to three weeks. Look for information to come home this week about needed items. We want to help those who are in need and teach our students the importance of helping others. So, to recap- Picture Day Tuesday, 4th & 5th Meeting Thursday, Pink Day Friday and information about donations coming soon. Have a great rest of your evening,
Weather Alert
Stokes County Schools will have a remote learning day on Friday, September 27, 2024.
