WORLD READING DAY
World Read Aloud Day has called attention to the importance of sharing stories by challenging participants to grab a book, find an audience, and read-aloud! Yolanda (Family Resource Coordinator, Watauga County Schools) and Vanessa (Spanish Interpreter, Watauga County Schools) were a part of this movement by sharing a bilingual book with Parkway students! Thank you for reading to us!

AIG Future City Winners!!!
Future City:
6th Engineering Competition
In spirit of the 2022 Beijing Olympics, Mrs. Smith’s sixth grade AIG class won the silver medal (second place) on January 22, 2022 at the state finals of Future City, a project-based learning program and international engineering design contest where middle school students imagine, research, design, and build cities of the future. This year’s competition theme was to build a waste free city built upon a circular economy. Out of twenty-four schools from all over the state, including several magnet schools, this group of students stood out amongst the crowd. Not only did we place second overall as a brand new team to the competition with the majority of schools having competed in past years, we also won the NCLUG Award for Best Teamwork. Parkway School was also awarded $800.00 from the sponsors of the competition! These students will be recognized at the WCS School Board meeting on February 14, 2022. The link to the competition’s results can be found here: FutureCity.
