On Tuesday, Nov 18, NB FFA will be packing Operation Christmas Child Shoe Boxes at 3:00 in Mr Gillespie's classroom at the high school, all are invited to participate and help. We will transition at 5:00 to set up the Christmas Tree Lot, beside Bojangles in Weaverville.

The Christmas season is here and the North Buncombe Optimist and NB FFA Christmas Tree Lot will open on Friday Nov 21. This lot is near the Bojangles and McDonalds on Weaver Blvd. Please help us spread the word and support local students in our school district.

Email our United Way after school organizers, Patty Schmid or Tiffany Wooten, if your child would be interested in knowing more about this club and attending an interest meeting during school. We will also have a sign up sheet for students in the lobby this week.

In October, the WNC Resilience Project partnered with Mountain True and Buncombe County’s Pack Memorial Library to host Resilience on the River—a floating design sprint along the Asheville stretch of the French Broad. Through protocols like I Used to Think / Now I Think, educators named powerful shifts in mindset, recognizing how literacy, science, and community engagement can merge through place-based learning. One of our own, 7th grade ELA teacher Beth Lane, participated in this project. Special thanks to Morgan Pittman, Instructional Designer and Curriculum Specialist at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, who co-facilitated the session and documented the experience through her notes and photography. Participants from four WNC school districts left with renewed energy, new cross-district connections, and clear commitments to bring interdisciplinary, community-rooted projects back to their schools.

Our school, and all BCS schools, are drop off locations for TOYS for the annual Smoky Mountain Toy Run. A donation to support this cause is a great way to log in an act of kindness in our PTO fundraiser. Donations can be made through the month of November.

You can subscribe here to our school's YouTube channel and watch these each Monday morning at 7:50 AM. Unfortunately, we did not stream live announcements last week.
