The Ambush Club, a male mentor-mentee group at South View High School, recently enjoyed the exciting NBA atmosphere of the Spectrum Arena in Charlotte, NC, where the Charlotte Hornets battled against the Utah Jazz. Even though 'the hometown team' didn’t get the win, the young men came away from the event with the awesome experience of visiting an NBA arena for the first time.
John Griffin Middle School recently announced that its sixth graders have become published authors through a national student publishing program. Students in ELA Teacher Amiraka Frye's class wrote and illustrated "Sailing Into Figurative Language: A Collection of Poems" using a free publishing program through Student Treasures Publishing. The class book created an opportunity for students to apply their understanding of figurative language and poetry while engaging in higher-order thinking.
CCS Superintendent Dr. Marvin Connelly, Jr. recently paid a visit to the 2nd-graders at Ed V. Baldwin Elementary School. During his visit, he entertained the students by reading to them one of his favorite books titled "The Eagles That Thought They Were Chickens."
