Field Day - Wednesday, 5/24 - Volunteers Needed

  • We are very excited for Field Day on Wednesday, 5/24, and we hope you are too!  It will be a day filled with games, fitness, and fun!  More info will be shared later with specifics about what to expect and plan for, but we are now asking for parent volunteers to help at each of our game stations. 
  • Please take a look at the attached spreadsheet and sign yourself up if you're available. Also, we are in need of 4 cornhole board sets to use for the day.  If you are willing to let us borrow these for the day, please email Coach Efird (sefird@chccs.k12.nc.us).

Library Books

  • This Friday, May 19 is the last day to check out books from the school library. All library books are due back the following Friday, May 26. Per our district library policy, families are not responsible for paying for or replacing missing library books. However, if you are willing and able to replace a book and want to send a copy into school with your student, Ms. Bailey will happily accept it.
