Weekly Updates January 6, 2019
Happy Sunday Pirates,
It has been a short but sweet week in the boro'! Congratulations to Coach Pettus and Coach Childs and our wrestling team for their victory on Thursday night over Jacksonville High School and their 2nd place overall finish at the County Cup on Saturday. 1st place champions include Kaleb Kemp, River Carroll, Christian Smith and Hunter Westerberg. 2nd place champions included Gavin Fitzgarrald, Mike Leandre and Triston Gee. It was also a big weekend in swimming with both men's and women's placing 2nd in their meet.
Congratulations to our Honor Society inductees who were celebrated on Friday night at Town Hall. A special thank you goes to Mayor Davis and our partners at town hall for allowing us to use their facility for our special event. We also had good news this week regarding the repairs of our facilities. Our students in construction, masonry and welding will be able to return to their rooms this week. We appreciate their flexibility these past 8 weeks as their classrooms were displaced.
Seniors received ordering information from Herff Jones for their graduation items on Thursday. These orders are due back on Thursday, January 10, 2019 with a deposit. Orders can be placed at lunch time on Thursday and Herff Jones will be on site until 6 pm Thursday evening to assist with orders and answer questions. Parents are encouraged to come by and discuss options with the Chuck McCann, our Herff Jones representative.
This week in athletics will include track at home, basketball at Croatan, swim at Clinton and wrestling at home against Northside on Wednesday, basketball at Northside on Friday at 4 pm, a wrestling tournament at South Lenior and All District Band auditions in Greenville on Saturday. We are excited to add lacrosse to our sports programs this year. Lacrosse is in full swing with practices on Monday & Wednesdays from 3 - 4:30 pm. Experience is not needed and all interested students are encouraged to attend. It is open to both boys and girls and equipment will be provided. Practice is encouraged before tryouts in mid-February.
