Your Feel Good Moment of the Week comes from Washington Elementary School assistant principal Ruth Mobley. Ms. Mobley stood at the corner of Lafayette and College holding a "Honk if you love Washington" sign from 9 to 10 a.m. on Thursday. She agreed to do this if Washington students met their goal for their food drive and Socktober event. Five hundred boxes of mac and cheese were collected for the district food pantry and 200 pairs of socks for the Seven Hills Day Center. Thank you, Ms. Mobley!!



Special thanks to Nabholz Corporation and to the Fayetteville Public Education Foundation for the in-kind gift of $20,000 of industry-standard tools to further develop and augment the Skilled Trades curriculum at Fayetteville High School! Through their generosity, the curriculum will train students interested in pursuing a career in the skilled trades while still in high school, particularly plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and general construction. Successful completion of this program would ideally result in a student earning multiple industry-recognized certifications that will enhance future employment opportunities.


Great things are happening every day in our schools, especially in 2020! Our teachers and students have adapted to the changes put in place to protect health and safety, and teaching and learning are still the focus of every school day.
