JCPC Helps Project Rebound
Recently, the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC), which helps fund Project Rebound at Davidson River School, allocated $2,500 to help with classroom materials and supplies for students in the Project Rebound program. This allocation is in addition to the $47,935 grant already provided for the year. Project Rebound is taught by Marilyn Edie and Coach David Siniard. We are very appreciative of the support from JCPC for our students.
Pisgah Forest Rotary Club Scholarship
Davidson River School recently received $300 in scholarship money from the Pisgah Forest Rotary Club. The scholarship will be awarded to one of the 21+ seniors at the DRS graduation ceremony on June 10. Many thanks go to the Pisgah Forest Rotary Club.
River of Knowledge Fund
Davidson River School is the recipient of donations to the River of Knowledge Fund, a fund established by an anonymous community donor to benefit the students at DRS. Donations awarded to DRS from the fund to date total over $350. Donations may be sent to River of Knowledge Fund, P.O. Box 1585, Pisgah Forest, NC 28768. All donations go exclusively to DRS for student needs.
Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program
TCS is proud to announce that all four elementary schools will once again participate in the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FF&VP) for the 2011-2012 school year. North Carolina received approximately $4 million as its FF&VP allocation for 2011-2012. One-hundred seventy elementary schools were selected for the program, which is an all-time high. The FF&VP provides a fresh fruit or vegetable snack to each child during the school day. Students are introduced to new and exciting foods and reap the benefits of healthier snacks. Each school has worked out a schedule with teachers, students and staff to provide the snacks in an easy and time-efficient manner. “We are very excited to offer this program again for the 2011-2012 year!” states Carolyn Barton, Director of Child Nutrition.
YMCA Camp Greenville Visits TCHES
Recently the YMCA Camp Greenville staff visited T. C. Henderson Elementary School and gave a demonstration of life in the 1800’s. Students explored their heritage through demonstrations of cooking, cleaning, clothes making, and games.
Career Day at Camp Keystone
Last week the sixth grade at Brevard Middle Scholl visited Camp Keystone for Career Day. Students learned different skills such as pottery, painting, candle making, forestry, and storytelling. They also watched a demonstration of butter-making.
Battle of the Books
Pisgah Forest Elementary School won the Battle of the Books championship title following three rounds of tournament play against Brevard Elementary and T. C. Henderson. The PFES team did not miss a single question or rebound question. Students were questioned on twelve novels they had read throughout the year. This is the fifth year for the tournament.
National Honor Society
On May 25, the Brevard High School National Honor Society inducted twelve new members for the 2011-2012 year. These new inductees will join the returning members in giving back to the community through participation in tutoring and independent service projects.
