Orchestera News
Congratulations to the 7th and 8th grade Orchestra students for earning Excellent ratings at the NC Western Region Music Performance Assessment in Winston-Salem, NC! This is a very highly regarded event that brings student orchestras from the entire Western half of the state. Our students performed challenging music for an esteemed panel of judges and received excellent feedback. Bravo to these young musicians!!
Girls Go Beyond
Fifteen girls from Quail Hollow were invited to attend the Girls Go Beyond “Internet Safety Day” hosted by The Girl Scouts of America held at the UNCC-Center City campus. They started the day with a keynote speaker encouraging these young female students to explore who they are through the “brand” they are creating for themselves both in their real life actions and social media actions. After that, students attended sessions on how to identify and respond to topics such as Cyberbullying. Thanks to UNCC for hosting and thanks to Mrs. Tietsort and Ms. Meyrose for making it happen!

Report Card Drop In Night for 3rd Quarter is Tuesday, April 17 from 5:00-6:30. During the event, parents are invited to drop in to pick up your student’s report card and speak with teachers. We hope to see you there!
