🌱 Bright Ideas Are Growing at Asbury Academy! 🌱

Mrs. Beckham and Asbury Academy have been awarded the Rutherford EMC Bright Ideas Grant to expand student learning in our school greenhouse!

Thanks to this generous funding, students will soon be able to plan, plant, and harvest their own crops this spring. The grant will support the purchase of raised beds and seeds—providing meaningful, hands-on learning experiences.

Math and science teachers will integrate the greenhouse into their instruction, using planting, growing, and harvesting activities to make classroom content come alive in real-world ways.

Our students have loved working in the garden this year, and we can’t wait to see what they accomplish next! 🌿✨

🌟 November is Career Development Month! 🌟

Governor Josh Stein has officially proclaimed November as Career Development Month and Career Development Coordinator Day on November 19 — a perfect opportunity to celebrate the dedicated professionals who help our students turn goals into reality.

🎓 Meet Christie Burke – North Lincoln High School

For Christie, the best part of being a Career Development Coordinator is seeing students achieve the very dreams they began building in high school. Watching graduates step into careers they once planned for is what makes her work so meaningful.

Her favorite advice to share? “Do you! Take classes that you’ll enjoy and that will benefit you in the future. Don’t take a class just because your friend is taking it.”

Christie recommends students explore NCCareers.org for tools, career pathways, and planning resources — a great place to start any journey.

💬 Fun fact: She’s been to Siberia!

💼 First job: Working at a snack bar in a Pennsylvania shopping center earning $3.35 an hour.

🏡 Dream job: A real estate agent — but only four days a week!

Thank you, Christie, for helping North Lincoln students explore, plan, and achieve their dreams!

✨📸 #FlashbackFriday ✨

This week we’re spotlighting Mrs. Kaylyn Kitts Davis – a proud LCS alum who is now making a difference as a school counselor! 💙

Kaylyn attended Catawba Springs, East Lincoln Middle, and East Lincoln High. Along the way, she had many teachers who shaped her path, including Mrs. Turner, Mrs. Cline, and Mrs. Kemp. She remembers Mrs. Turner as the most loving and comforting teacher, with wonderful kindergarten memories that she still treasures. Mrs. Cline supported her with care during a year of health challenges, while Mrs. Kemp taught her leadership and accountability that carried her into future success. 🍎

Today, Mrs. Davis serves as a Guidance Counselor at Catawba Springs Elementary. Before joining CSES, she also worked at G.E. Massey. For her, returning to the same schools she grew up in feels both nostalgic and comforting, creating a sense of family that she now gives back to her students.

When asked what she loves most about her role, Mrs. Davis shared:

“I love helping and serving students! My favorite part of my job is individual counseling. I get to know students on a personal level and I am able to encourage personal growth, independence, and interpersonal skills among other things.” 🌟

Thank you, Mrs. Davis, for your heart for students and for continuing the LCS tradition of care and excellence! 👏

We are proud to have hosted our 3rd Annual Employability Bowl, featuring select students from each of our high schools. This year’s event highlighted engaging Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) that help students explore post-secondary options, develop job-seeking skills, strengthen financial literacy, and practice effective workplace communication and customer service.

Students also took part in hands-on job simulations in the fields of animal care, food service, grocery, retail, and manufacturing — gaining real-world experience in a supportive, fun environment.

We are incredibly grateful to the community agencies, local businesses, LCS graduates, and volunteers who have generously donated their time and resources to make this event possible. Their partnership plays a vital role in helping our students build confidence and prepare for success—because Bright Futures Start Here!

🌟 November is Career Development Month! 🌟

Governor Josh Stein has officially proclaimed November as Career Development Month and Career Development Coordinator Day on November 19 — a time to celebrate the incredible educators who help our students discover their strengths, passions, and career pathways.

🎓 Meet Jennifer Luper – Lincolnton High School

Jennifer finds joy in helping students uncover what excites them most and connecting those interests to real-world opportunities. From internships and job shadowing to field trips and pre-apprenticeship programs, she loves watching students engage with the many career experiences our community offers.

Her top advice? “Don’t wait until after graduation to start exploring your options! Every experience — big or small — helps you learn more about yourself and your future.”

When she’s not supporting students, Jennifer enjoys basketweaving, sewing, cooking, gardening, and woodworking — she loves creating things from start to finish.

💬 Fun fact: Her first job was as a cashier and attendant at Debbie’s Convenience Store, earning $2.90 an hour — and she was proud of every penny!

Thank you, Jennifer, for your commitment to helping LHS students find purpose and possibility in their next steps!
