If you're interested in helping, please let me know. The Newton-Conover Education Foundation is sponsoring a Christmas for the Children golf tournament on November 11th. More information about the tournament and what the funds will be used for can be found at https://birdease.com/Christmasforthechildren. We are partnering with the Guardian Ad Litem to collect peanut butter and jelly. There is a box at the cross hall where you can place these two items. Our sophomores will be taking the PreACT and our juniors will be taking the practice ACT (CCRA) on October 31st. Freshmen and seniors will have an asynchronous day on this day meaning they will complete their work at home. It would also be a great day for community service and seniors could visit colleges as well. Sophomores and juniors will be able to leave when the testing is completed. I hope that everyone has a wonderful week. As always, please reach out if there's anything we can do for you. Take care. #DiscoverU

Ms. Isaac's Theatre classes were assigned to go to a local nursing home and interview residents about their lives. The residents were asked to tell the students about their favorite memory or event that happened to them during their lives. Ms. Isaac's students will then turn their stories into scripts and act them out for the residents later this semester.
