Shout out to our School Counselors!

It is National School Counseling Week, and we are celebrating the best team around -- Mrs. Boukari and Mrs. Coffey!

Thank you for listening, caring, and helping us grow every single day. You help us be our best selves. We appreciate everything you do!

📚 Snow Day? Perfect Reading Day! ❄️ Since we’re home today because of dangerous road conditions, this is a great time to curl up, stay warm, and enjoy a good book! Families can access thousands of digital books and audiobooks through Libby—all from home. ✨ No Chromebook required! Libby works on phones, tablets, computers, and many e-readers, so students can read or listen on whatever device they have available. To get started: 1️⃣ Download the Libby app or visit the Libby website. 2️⃣ Tap “Add a Library” and enter your zip code. 3️⃣ Look for NC Kids Digital Library (K–5) and NC Kids Level Up (3–8). You can add both! 4️⃣ Choose “Sign in with my card.” 5️⃣ Select Lincoln County. 6️⃣ Enter the student’s ID number for the card number. 7️⃣ The password is the last 4 digits of the student ID. Once logged in, students will have instant access to thousands of ebooks and audiobooks—including titles that may not be available in our school library. 🎧 Don’t forget the audiobooks! They’re perfect for listening while relaxing, building Legos, drawing, or staying cozy with a blanket and hot cocoa. Stay safe, stay warm, and happy reading! 📖💙

We currently have over 200 outerwear items hanging on the fence between the cafeteria and the playground. Please take a moment this week to look for any items you may have misplaced. These items will be taken down by the end of the day on Friday. Thank you!
