As part of the garden-based learning project, Mrs. Rollins read Tops & Bottoms and helped scholars explore the different parts of plants and where vegetables grow. Through hands-on activities, students gained understanding of basic gardening, healthy foods, and the importance of agriculture. We might just have some future farmers!

Reminder: Our regularly scheduled Board Meeting is held on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 5:30 PM in the Middle School. We welcome all who would like to attend.

Mrs. Rollins, a first-grade teacher at WPA, is excited to share her new garden-based learning project made possible through the Ag in the Classroom Grant. Through hands-on activities, scholars were able to explore plant science, soil health, ecosystems, and the importance of agriculture in North Carolina. They planted seeds, compared different types of plants, and designed their own garden spaces! Mrs. Rollins looks forward to growing and expanding the project with future first-grade classes.

Yesterday’s High School Graduation was amazing. We are so proud of these scholars and all they have accomplished. As they begin their next adventures, we hope they always remember that success is not just about where you go, but the lives you impact along the way.

The future is bright, and this is only the beginning for the Class of 2026.

Here are just a couple of moments captured from an unforgettable day.
