#SCSUpdates | To our Surry County Schools community, We are deeply saddened by the loss of Aydan Dodson, a student at Pilot Mountain Middle School. Aydan was a bright, polite, and respectful young man. Aydan had a quest for knowledge and loved competing, even in the school spelling bee, or in a debate with a student or staff member. Aydan’s charismatic personality lit up every room, and he always left a positive and lasting impact on those he met. Our hearts go out to his family and friends, and to the school community as we grieve this tragic loss together. We extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation to the Surry County Sheriff’s Office, the State Bureau of Investigation, and their respective officers for their professionalism and expertise, and to all those who have shared their thoughts and prayers for the Pilot Mountain Middle School community. The past two days have been extremely difficult, but the outpouring of kindness and compassion has been a source of strength for our students and staff. We would also like to express our heartfelt appreciation to the administration, the social workers, the counselors, and the entire staff at Pilot Mountain Middle School. The needs of our students extend far beyond the classroom, and these dedicated professionals work tirelessly to support and care for our children. As we move forward, Surry County Schools remains committed to providing the resources and care needed to help our students and staff navigate this difficult time. Counselors will be available at school next week for assistance to students, staff, and parents.

On November 20th, the nurses of Surry County Schools gathered for their monthly meeting, where they were graciously treated to lunch by Northern Regional Hospital. A heartfelt thank you goes to Rylee Giles and Kayla Edwards from Northern's Marketing and Community Relations Department for their generosity. During the meeting, the nurses had the pleasure of meeting Olivia Basile, a Physician Assistant with Northern Family Medicine in Dobson. Olivia shared valuable information about the practice and the services it offers, and she expressed her readiness to assist whenever needed. We are grateful for her time and expertise. We feel truly fortunate to have such strong community partners in Northern Regional Hospital and appreciate the support and collaboration that helps enhance the care we provide to our students and staff.
