United Way
At the “Community Champions” breakfast on February 23, the United Way of Transylvania County presented awards to businesses and organizations for their efforts during the 2017-2018 campaign. The school system received the Gold Award ($5,000 and up), Workplace Champion award (for efforts to distribute information about United Way programs in schools and the community), and the Highest Number of Donors award. Two of our schools were also singled out for recognition. School campaign coordinators Jennifer Worley at Rosman Elementary and Kim Moore at T. C. Henderson each conducted 100 percent campaign participation at their schools. Thanks to Scott Strickler, Kevin Smith, and everyone who participated.
National School Breakfast Week
The week of March 5-9, 2018 is “National School Breakfast Week.” This year’s theme, “I ♥ School Breakfast,” encourages parents, students, and school officials to raise awareness and get social over school breakfast. Much appreciation goes to our hard-working school nutrition staff for all they do to provide nutritious meals to hundreds of children every day.
School Social Workers Month
This year’s School Social Workers Week is March 4-10, 2018, with the theme, “United to Make a Better World.” It is a great time to show your support for the dedicated professionals whose unique knowledge and skills further the mission of the schools by addressing the many social forces that can negatively affect children and their role as students.
Music in Our Schools Month
The month of March is designated by the National Association for Music Education as “Music in Our Schools Month” nationwide. This month-long celebration is an opportunity to share the many benefits that school music brings to students of all ages and the community. Please join us in supporting our music educators for all they do to bring music into our lives.
National Read Across America Day
The National Education Association is building a nation of readers through its signature program, NEA’s Read Across America. Now in its 20th year, this year-round program focuses on motivating children and teens to read through events, partnerships, and reading resources. On March 2 every year, (Dr. Seuss’ birthday) educators and supporters are invited to elementary classrooms to read their favorite childhood books. “You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read with a child.” (Dr. Seuss)
