Dance Teacher Featured in the Journal

Our dance teacher, Mrs. Amanda Nelson, is an important part of our school and community.  She serves as the Specialists' Team Chairperson for the school and the choreographer for the WSFCS Summer Enrichment Program.  She was interviewed by the Winston-Salem Journal and highlighted in an article about Arts Teachers who make an impact in the community.  Check out the article and read more about Mrs. Nelson's contributions:

PAWS Program

Our School-wide Behavior and Incentive Program has officially kicked off.  

Students and staff met in the gym for an assembly to review the expectations and details of P.A.W.S.  Since our school mascot is a Tiger, the acronym P.A.W.S. directly ties in our school #TigerPride.  

Special guest to the assembly included school mascot, Taz, the Tiger.  PAWS Commitee chairperson, Mr. Sigler, led the assembly with help from the Arts Team.  

As students work in their classrooms, transition in the hallways, have lunch in the cafeteria, learn in Specials, ride home on the bus, and interact and function all over the school, they are reminded of good conduct and excellent behavior by posters and displays outlining the PAWS Expections:  P-Prepared, A-A+ Attitude, W-Work Responsibly, S-Show Respect.  

As teachers find students keeping these expectations, they are rewarded with a PAW Buck, worth either $1 or $5, depending on the behavior.  These PAW Bucks can be spent in the school store for prizes, such as tee-shirts, slime, toys, candy, and more.


Big Instrument Donation

On September 27, Bob Moulton, CEO of National Pawn, along with several representatives of National Pawn, visited our school and presented $2000 and over 100 instruments to our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students in our Band and Orchestra Program.
