Sunday Message Week of May 4th, 2020
Shine a light in gratitude!
Teachers, school staff, and parents have been shining lights for students in these dark times.
North Carolina public schools are encouraging everyone to shine lights as a symbol of gratitude next week.
We hope you join us and share with us your creativity to celebrate the shining lights in North Carolina. You can share photos on social media with #NCed and #NCLighthouseLeaders.

Whole School Zoom Assembly
Look for an email on Friday morning with information about how to log in and participate in our Distance Whole School Assembly.
We still ran into some issues this past week and are working diligently to get the glitches fixed so that all our Bulldogs can participate!
1) Since there will be a lot more students than last time, we will be controlling the Mute/Unmute feature. This allows the speaker to be heard by all.
2) If you are a multi-student household, please be sure your family attends the whole school assembly via one device.
We will recite the pledge and our Code of Behavior. We will then sing the school song and of course, wrap the assembly with a whole school dance party. We hope to see you there!
Log in information will be emailed out every Friday at 8:30 am.
