Sparkle of the week!
- This Friday (April 21st) BCSVA will host Dr. Jackson and our Central Services Staff during their visit to our school!
- Dr. Jackson and crew have visited 43 of 45 schools within our Buncombe County School System thus far!
- This is part of Dr. Jackson's Listening and Learning Adventure. He has shared that each school visit has allowed him to learn more about how vast and varied the opportunities are for our students during the course of a school day on each of our campuses.
- We appreciate the hard work Dr. Baldwin engaged with for many years as he led our school system!
- Welcome, Dr. Jackson!
April is National School Library Month!
