Also this week, we head out for space camp and Chattanooga. If you are staying back with us, please don't worry, we have lots of fun, interactive learning experiences planned.
This week is also Valentine's Day. Please be aware of the guidelines for anything delivered to the school for this day:

I am excited to see the imaginations of our scholars bloom during this 9 weeks, check out what they are up to (https://sites.google.com/mcdowell.k12.nc.us/a-whole-new-world/home).
