Good Afternoon Mountaineers! This is your principal Matt Scott with a quick update.
Monday we will have our annual Polar Express Day. We invite everyone to wear their pajamas and enjoy the train ride, pancakes, cookies, and milk. On Monday afternoon, we’ll all watch the Polar Express together. We may even have a special visitor come by. On Tuesday, our robotics team will practice until 4:30. On Wednesday we will celebrate our DoNut Give Up Awards, and Pizza with the Principal for the leaders of the month. Thursday we will send home new backpacks filled with all sorts of goodies with every student in the school. Please do NOT send your student to school with a backpack on Thursday. Thursday is also an early release day. We will release school at 1:00 on Thursday.
After the early release on Thursday, we will not have school again until Jan. 3rd. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Please be safe if you are traveling.
Those are all the announcements for tonight. I look forward to seeing our Mountaineers back on campus tomorrow.

The Rada orders have been delivered. They are in the front office. All orders must be picked up as we will not send any orders home with students.
As a reminder, in order for a student’s absence to be excused, a note must be sent no later than two days after the student’s return to school.

On Saturday, our Mountaineer Engineers along with other top teams from the region, competed in the First Lego League Regional Semi-Finals in Charlotte, NC. Competition was tough but our Mountaineers were successful and they finished 16th in the robot runs. This score along with robot design, innovation project, and core values scores qualified them for the State Semi-Finals that will be held at NC A&T in Greensboro on January 13, 2024! We are so proud of our Mountaineers! Good Luck in the State Semi-Finals!
