National Teacher Appreciation Week
The week of May 2-6, 2016 is designated as “Teacher Appreciation Week” across the nation. School organizations will have activities throughout the week to honor and thank teachers for all that they do. As a part of the celebration, the Transylvania County Association of Educators (TCAE) will hold its annual “Friends of Education” banquet on May 17 at 6:00 p.m. in the Rogow Room of the Transylvania County Library. The annual “Teacher of the Year” awards ceremony will be held on May 20 at 11:30 a.m. in the fellowship hall of the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd.
National Principal’s Day
May 1st is recognized annually as National Principals’ Day, a time to honor the hard work and leadership of school principals everywhere. National Principals’ Day is our opportunity to say “thank you” to these dedicated professionals and to share with the community all the great things that principals do to support the education of our students.
National School Nurse Day
Wednesday, May 11th is National School Nurse Day. School nurses work with a complex array of school health issues included immunizations; health care screenings; hearing and vision testing; home accidents; diseases such as diabetes and asthma; student obesity; special needs like tube feeding; preventing the spread of disease through blood exposure; and the fallout from mental, emotional, and social problems. For some students, the school nurse is the only health care professional they ever see. Join us in thanking our school nurses who rise to the challenge every day.
School Nutrition Employee Appreciation Week
School Nutrition Employee Appreciation Week is May 2-6, 2016. Our school nutrition professionals deserve recognition because they do it all—preparing healthy meals for students, adhering to strict nutrition standards, navigating student food allergies, catering school system events--and they do it with a smile. School Lunch Hero Day is the perfect opportunity to say thank you to these hardworking superheroes in our school cafeterias. A proclamation is attached recognizing Friday, May 6, 2016 as School Lunch Hero Day.
A motion is in order to approve the proclamation.
Peachjar Savings
In celebration of Earth Day, we are excited to announce that Transylvania County Schools saved 59 trees in the past year by sending flyers home digitally through Peachjar. Thanks to everyone for doing their part for the environment.
Never Stop Learning
Seventh grade students in Rosman recently got to take a tour of Europe using the National Geographic traveling map, one of the world’s largest maps of Europe. The RMS map lesson was featured as a segment on WLOS “Never Stop Learning.” The map’s two week visit was made possible through a Transylvania County Educational Foundation grant.
