National Arts in Education Week – Sept. 10-16
The week of September 10-16, 2023 was National Arts in Education Week. The arts are an essential part of a complete education, and students of all ages benefit from artistic learning, innovative thinking, and creativity. We thank our arts educators for all they do and our community for their strong support of arts programs in our schools.
Constitution Day – Sept. 17
September 17 is Constitution Day in the United States. It commemorates the September 17, 1787 signing of the final version of the United States Constitution by the delegates to the Constitutional Convention. The U.S. Constitution contains the main rules and amendments that instill law and order, protect the rights of citizens, and govern politics and daily life in America. It is critical for students to learn how the power of this governing charter strengthens our nation and informs what it means to be free.
National IT Professionals Day – Sept. 19
National IT Professionals Day was created in 2015 to show appreciation to the often unsung tech wizards who are essential to keeping our work stations and networks operating flawlessly. Without them we would be back to typewriters, chalkboards and overhead projectors. Please join us in thanking Transylvania County Schools' outstanding team of IT professionals who keep us up to date, troubleshoot problems, provide training, and protect users from online threats:
