The Weekly Update
Feb 12-15th
This Week's Highlights
Last week we saw history made when SpaceX launched. If you missed it check it out above. As a long time fan of the space program and now SpaceX, I am amazed by the innovation that happens daily and cannot wait to see what our scholars achieve one day!
We are looking for parent volunteers to support us in water quality sampling this Thursday and Friday (Feb 15 and 16th). Please let me know at melanie.shaver@mcdowell.k12.nc.us if you are available or interested.
This week we continue to recruit for our new 6th-grade class, 2018-19 FCS application (this is only for new applicants). We are excited about our new FCS scholars: https://goo.gl/forms/70iJbIwhnX8xeOhV2
Parents and students, please share the photos that you have taken of school-related activities to be considered for the yearbook.

Flint Water Enrichment: Reaching out to other students
As you can see and as you have probably heard; Flint, MI crisis is a serious one. We recently received a call for letters for the students of Flint.
"Mari Copeny is trying to collect letters from all over the world to deliver to every student enrolled in Flint schools."
These should be general letters of encouragement letting the kids know that we see the situation that they are in, our support for them and that we have learned about the importance of clean water. If interested, letters should be sent to or given to Mrs. Shaver by the end of the week.
