The Randolph County School System represented yesterday and today at the Latine Education Summit in Winston Salem.

This morning, Grays Chapel Elementary held a 9/11 remembrance ceremony to mark 23 years since that tragic day in US history. Pictures tell this morning's story as students placed American flags in "Sandy's Garden" before the ceremony began. Principal Lori Johnson and several Grays Chapel students spoke to the crowd about the events of 9/11/01 and what Freedom means. The students sang Patriotic songs and we all participated in the Pledge of Allegiance. Sandy Waugh Bradshaw attended Grays Chapel from K-8th grade and graduated from Eastern Randolph High School. May we never forget the sacrifice Sandy and others made on that day in history!

CFNC's College Application Week will be October 21-27. Many colleges and universities in North Carolina let high school seniors apply for FREE if they use the College Foundation of North Carolina (CFNC) website. This helps students save money and get support during the college application process.

Here's a positive story from Coleridge Elementary! Coleridge Elementary had its first "Free Book Friday" today and it was a HUGE success!! At Coleridge, they believe every child should have the gift of literacy. Having books available for students to take home each Friday is just one way we develop and support their love of reading! 📚 💙🚀

WHS kicked off "Strive 95" this week. "Strive 95" is a mission to move WHS to an A school (85) as recognized by the NCPDI School Performance Grade over a three year period. All students have been challenged to excel in attendance, graduation requirements, and ACT WorkKeys. This effort is to prepare students to be career-ready upon graduation.

The Randolph County Probation office dropped off school supply donations this week for the Randolph County School System. Thank you Chief Campbell and Chief Pittman for bringing the box of supplies!
