Distinguished Leadership in Practice
Brevard High School Principal, Jeremy Gibbs, has been accepted into the 2012-2013 Distinguished Leadership in Practice (DLP) program. The DLP program is sponsored by the North Carolina Principals and Assistant Principals Association (NCPAPA).
RHS Wrestlers Place at State
Two wrestlers from Rosman High School placed highly in the State Wrestling Tournament. T. James Henderson took 2nd place in the Class 1A, 171 pound category. Samuel Mullenax finished in 4th place in the Class 1A, 185 pound category.
Middle School Rebound Program at Free Rein
The Free Rein Center is a non-profit therapeutic horseback riding program for handicapped and disadvantaged youth in the county. For the past seven years, the staff at Free Rein has brought Davidson River School’s middle school Rebound class to their stables for self-esteem and skill building activities that are centered on and around horses. Students gain confidence, knowledge and experience when they become groomers then “leaders” to the horses. Students develop relationships not only with the horses, but also with the volunteers with whom they are paired for the sessions. This is by far one of the favorite activities of anyone who has ever spent time in Rebound. The cost of the program is over $3,000 for the 8-10 students who participate, all of which is raised by the Free Rein staff through grants, private donations and contributions from local churches. We are very thankful to the Free Rein staff for their support of our students.
DRS Thanks Pisgah Forest Rotary Club and Vision Brevard
This spring, Davidson River School students took advantage of opportunities to positively impact community perceptions. Twenty-five members of the 2012 Vision Brevard/Transylvania County Leadership Class visited the school for a presentation by DRS students. Seniors Lakota Merrill, Josh Schneider and Stephanie Godlove shared their personal stories of how they came to join the “DRS Family” and program specifics. The students did an outstanding job of highlighting academic and enrichment programs unique to DRS, including the Taiko drumming group.
On March 14, DRS students and staff strengthened their partnership with the Pisgah Forest Rotary Club at a breakfast meeting at Glen Cannon Country Club. Students Stephanie Godlove and Josh Schneider presented information about DRS programs including Taiko. Later, they were presented with a $300 check and raffle proceeds for the Taiko program. Teacher Marilyn Edie, having completed a summer fellowship program in Thailand, presented the Pisgah Forest Rotary Club with Rotary Club flags from their Asian partners.
