Good Morning Red Devils,
This year, in an effort to recognize the hard work and dedication of our student athletes, we are continuing a weekly honor: The Hammer Award. This award celebrates athletes who excel both on the field and in the classroom. Each recipient receives a T-shirt and is featured in a recognition post highlighting their accomplishments.
This week's winner is Caleb H.
Caleb had an incredible week on the football field, putting on a dominant performance in the game against Grandview. He was responsible for five total touchdowns, showcasing his versatility and athleticism. Caleb threw for three touchdowns, rushed for one, and even caught a touchdown pass, proving he's a true all-around athlete.
Beyond his contributions on the field, Caleb is a dedicated student and a strong leader. He sets a great example both in competition and in the classroom. So far this year, he has earned straight A's in all his classes and is a proud Gold Honor Card recipient.
Caleb’s hard work, discipline, and leadership make him a standout both on and off the field. Keep it up, Caleb!

8th Grade Social Studies students have been working hard identifying and researching NC symbols. Students were then able to dig deeper with the book “T is for Tarheel” all about the ABCs of NC, identify key aspects of the text for their assigned letter, and create a visual representation of what they read with a 3d aspect. Here are a few of the finished products.
Our very own, Mr. Earp, will appear on an episode of Wheel of Fortune tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m. on NBC.
