Caswell County Schools celebrates student success and new partnerships for next academic year

During the recent Board of Education meeting for Caswell County Schools, several key updates and initiatives were discussed that directly impact the local community and its students.

One of the primary topics was the upcoming counter car paint project, set to begin on July 7, which will see four school vehicles receiving much-needed maintenance. This project reflects the board's commitment to maintaining school resources effectively.

Superintendent Moe Greene took the opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the school district as the academic year comes to a close. He expressed gratitude to the community for their support and highlighted the successful hands-on learning experiences provided to students. Notably, elementary schools in the district participated in a 4-H program focused on the life cycle of butterflies, showcasing the district's dedication to experiential learning.

Looking ahead, South Elementary is embarking on a partnership with Baldwin Bee Farms to create a raised garden bed project. This initiative aims to provide students with practical knowledge in agriculture, sustainability, and nutrition, further enriching their educational experience.

The meeting also acknowledged the accomplishments of the district's eighth graders and the recent graduation of 156 students from Baldingans High School. Special recognition was given to Irvin Satterfield for his achievement in the Sheep Production Fishing Award at the state conference, and the school’s FFA chapter was celebrated for receiving a national gold chapter award.

In addition to these highlights, Superintendent Greene shared important updates regarding student assessments. The state board of education has announced that growth from retesting will be counted alongside students' performance, providing an additional incentive for schools and students alike.

As the district prepares for the next school year, the board remains focused on fostering academic excellence and community engagement, ensuring that Caswell County Schools continue to be a top choice for families in the area.
