We are a member of A+ Schools of North Carolina. A+ Schools of North Carolina is a whole-school transformation model that views the arts as fundamental to teaching and learning. Established in North Carolina in 1995, A+ Schools is a signature program of the North Carolina Arts Council. A+ is the longest-running, arts-based whole-school reform model in the nation. As an A+ School, we uphold the 8 Essentials of A+ Schools. Visit the NC A+ Schools website at: https://www.ncarts.org/arts-council-z/aplus-schools-nc
Annually, A+ Leaders and Educators meet in Raleigh for the Fall Leadership Meeting and New Teacher Training. (A+ Schools Leaders also meet in the Spring in other locations.)
This fall, our A+ Magnet Coordinator, Mrs. Gordon, traveled to Raleigh to the McKimmon Center for the Leadership Meeting. Second grade teacher, Ms. Foster, and Fourth Grade teacher, Mrs. Stevens, attended the teacher training sessions.
