Dictionaries for Third Graders
The Brevard Rotary Club will be providing dictionaries for each third grade student this year. Thank you to Brevard Rotary!
TCAE Donates to TCS After-School
The Transylvania County Association of Educators (TCAE) held an ice cream social and supply drive at the Transylvania County Library in September to benefit the TCS after-school program. Like other programs and departments, the after-school program has suffered from budgetary cuts. The group took in over $100 in cash contributions as well as donations of scissors, pens, pencils, markers, highlighters, crayons, glue and glue sticks, notebook paper, notebooks, watercolor paints and brushes, puzzle/activity books, coloring books, card games, foam craft shapes, stencils, jump rope, and novelty items for prize boxes. Because the RES after-school program is just starting up, RES received the lion’s share of the supplies. The rest of the supplies were divided equally among the other after-school programs.
RHS Winners at Mountain State Fair
The following students from Rosman High School won ribbons at the Mountain State Fair in September:
Sterling Whitmire, first place, apple butter
E. J. Alexander, first place, triple berry jam
Hannah Chappell, first place, peach jam
Brianna Galloway, second place, apple butter
Siarrah Lekan, second place, spiced pear jam
Brighton Orr, second place, blackberry jam
Jessica Morgan, second place, salsa
Juan Mundo-Mendez, third place, salsa
Autumn Franks, third place
Bethany Green, third place, strawberry rhubarb jam
In addition, teacher Billie Wilson took first place and Best of Show for her quilted garment bag and first place for her apron.
Association of Direct Instruction Award
Brevard Middle School student Josmar Jose Antonio won national recognition for academic improvement through the Association of Direct Instruction. Brevard Elementary School nominated him for the award last year as a fifth grader. He will receive a plaque and a $200 check from the organization.
BHS Alumni Night
Brevard High School held its second annual “Alumni Night” on October 8, 2010. All BHS alumni were invited to come and eat for free before the football game. The event was sponsored by the BHS Leadership Club and Student Council.
American Education Week
Attached is a proclamation designating November 14-20, 2010 as American Education Week in Transylvania County. In celebration of American Education Week, all current and retired school system employees will be invited to Thanksgiving lunch as guests of the Board at the school cafeteria of their choice on Thursday, November 18, 2010.
A motion is in order to approve the proclamation.
