We will be rounding out the week with our FUN RUN!!!!!! Our goal is $20,000 for an electronic board out front. Have you signed your students up? Have you started asking family and friends for donations? Please help QCE reach our goal!!!!

Each September, schools across the state audition 4th and 5th grade students for the most prestigious choral ensemble in North Carolina - the NC Elementary Honors Chorus. This year, 548 students auditioned for this elite choir. Only three students were selected in all of Onslow County, and two of them are QCE Gators! CONGRATULATIONS to Damaiyah Boyce and Ava Williams! They will travel to Winston-Salem in November to perform at the North Carolina Music Educators conference.

**We are so proud of these two gators! Way to go, girls!!!!**

WE ARE HOPING TO HIT OUR GOAL OF $20,000 by FRIDAY!!!! If you haven't signed up your student yet and started sharing their link, please do so today! Our students and staff are excited to participate on Friday. Please see flyer below for time and information regarding Friday's event.

We had such a tremendous response to our SMILES Mobile Dental that we were not able to service all of the students that registered. If your student was not seen during the visit last week, we have scheduled the dental team to return on December 15 and 16.

Dojo messages were sent to all parents of students that were not seen and are on the schedule for December.
