Starting on Thursday when we come back to school through the first week of Feb. InterAct of Wake County is going to be coming to our school to speak with all of the 3rd-5th grade students through their specials classes.
For those of your who are not familiar with InterAct they are a private, non-profit, United Way agency that provides safety, support and awareness to victims and survivors of domestic violence. They have a great program that comes into schools to speak with the children about healthy relationships and how to stay safe. They are able to talk to the students in a way that is engaging, informative, and not scary. If you have any concerns please check out InterAct's website. A letter was also sent home to parents before the trackout.

Spotlight on a College
Hello Everyone! I hope everyone had a great trackout!
I came up with this idea right before trackout to spotlight a different college or university each month. I would like to create an environment where students are thinking about their future and all the wonderful things they can do. In our ever changing world one of the biggest things that helps anyone have the job of their dreams is some form of higher education.
I asked the teachers what schools they attended as my starting point. I want our student to realize there are other schools outside of the triangle. In December I highlighted Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. I apologize for not taking a picture of the bulletin board before I took it down. On the board each month I will be sharing some facts about the school and a few pictures. I will also be sharing what teachers went to that school. I hope that if a student is interested in a school they may reach out to that teacher to learn more. The news crew is also sharing a fact they find each morning. This month we are highlight North Carolina A&T.
I have added the links to both school's home pages. If you and your students would like to learn more about the school please click on the school's name above.
