LEARNING, LEADING, AND SHARING AT NCSBA!

Members of the Lincoln County Schools Board of Education, along with district and school leaders, attended the North Carolina School Boards Association (NCSBA) Conference this week!

The conference provided opportunities to connect with education leaders from across the state, explore new ideas, and bring back strategies to strengthen our schools.

We were especially proud to have LCS represented as presenters, sharing how our district is implementing Leader in Me to develop student leadership, build positive school cultures, and empower students to take ownership of their learning and growth!

It's always exciting when we have the opportunity to not only learn from others but also share the great things happening right here in Lincoln County Schools!

Learn. Lead. Thrive.

LOOK AROUND LINCOLN COUNTY SCHOOLS!

From sharing expertise across the state to representing Lincoln County on some pretty big stages, our students and staff have been busy! Take a look at where we've been over the past few days!

Sharing Expertise at the State Level! Last week, Mrs. Jennifer Gosnell, school counselor at Battleground Elementary, presented at the North Carolina School Counselor Association (NCSCA) Fall Conference! We love seeing our educators share their knowledge and experiences with colleagues from across North Carolina!

WLHS JROTC Takes the Field! The West Lincoln High School JROTC program had an exciting opportunity to be showcased at Sunday's Carolina Panthers game! What an incredible experience for these cadets to represent their school and our district on a NFL stage!

A Voice Representing Lincoln County! Congratulations to Danika from Norris S. Childers Elementary, who represented all of Lincoln County at the North Carolina Honors Chorus in Winston-Salem this weekend! What an outstanding accomplishment and a wonderful opportunity to share her musical talent alongside other exceptional young singers from across the state!

Math in Action at North Brook! Today, we stepped inside a fourth-grade math classroom at North Brook Elementary to see learning in action! There's nothing quite like visiting classrooms and seeing the important work our teachers and students are doing every day.

From conference presentations and NFL stadiums to concert stages and classrooms, our LCS students and staff continue to make us proud wherever they go!

100 YEARS OF LOVE MEMORIAL ELEMENTARY!

A century of learning, memories, and community! Yesterday, Love Memorial Elementary celebrated an incredible milestone as the school marked its 100th anniversary!

The school welcomed community members, including former students, teachers, and administrators, for a special celebration honoring its rich history. Guests took a walk down memory lane as they explored displays of photographs, newspaper clippings, yearbooks, and other memorabilia that told the story of Love Memorial through the decades.

While much has changed over the past 100 years, one thing remains the same: the lasting impact of a school on the generations of students, families, and educators who have called it home.

Congratulations to Love Memorial Elementary on 100 years of learning, growing, and making memories! Here's to the next century!

LOOK AROUND LINCOLN COUNTY SCHOOLS!

From celebrating outstanding educators to collaborating with colleagues and finding creative ways to engage students, there's plenty to celebrate across LCS this week!

Celebrating Math Excellence at Pumpkin Center Intermediate! Congratulations to Ms. Rachel Masters, who was recognized at the North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCCTM) conference as Lincoln County Schools' Outstanding Math Teacher! We're proud to see her dedication to mathematics education recognized!

Sharing Our Expertise at NCCTM! High school math coaches from across Lincoln County Schools also took the stage at NCCTM, presenting a session on Coaching Conversations. What a great opportunity for our educators to share their knowledge and strategies with colleagues from across the state!

Learning in Action at North Lincoln Middle! We stopped by Dr. Dymes' ELA classroom for a look at ISI (Iron Sharpens Iron) in action! It's always exciting to see instructional strategies come to life as students engage in meaningful learning.

Fun Friday at Union Elementary! Fridays are extra special at Union, where students from different grade levels come together for Fun Friday clubs! These clubs give students opportunities to explore interests, build relationships, and connect with peers across the building. Today, the Lincoln County Public Library even joined the fun by leading one of the clubs! We love seeing community partnerships create new experiences for students.

Whether our educators are being recognized, sharing their expertise, or creating engaging experiences for students, great things are happening every day across Lincoln County Schools!

MEALS THAT MATTER IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE!

Thanks to the Meals That Matter Professional Development Fund, Mrs. Todd and Mrs. Marquardt recently had the opportunity to attend the National AMLE Conference, where they connected with educators, explored innovative strategies, and gained new ideas to bring back to their classrooms!

“Investing in educators is truly an investment in students, and we appreciate your support in making this experience possible!” shared Mrs. Todd and Mrs. Marquardt.

This is exactly why Meals That Matter exists! Thanks to the generosity of our community and participating restaurant partners, we're able to provide meaningful professional development opportunities that directly benefit our teachers and students.

When our educators grow, our students thrive!

CITIZEN PRAISES WEST LINCOLN MIDDLE STUDENT!

Sometimes, the greatest lessons our students learn happen outside the classroom!

At a recent wrestling match at West Lincoln Middle School, a young wrestler noticed a woman struggling to walk with a cane. Without being asked or prompted, he immediately left the bleachers to offer his assistance.

His simple act of kindness didn't go unnoticed! Community member Jim Harkey shared the experience on Facebook, praising the student's character and the positive influence of his family and coaches.

While we celebrate our students for their achievements in academics, athletics, and the arts, moments like these remind us that who our students become is just as important as what they accomplish.

Thank you to this young Chief for leading by example, and to Coach Wayne Navey and his staff for reinforcing the importance of character, compassion, and service.

This is what makes us proud to be Lincoln County Schools!

LOOK AROUND LINCOLN COUNTY SCHOOLS!

From celebrating community heroes to creating special memories and learning together, there's always something happening across LCS! Take a look at a few moments we've captured recently!

Honoring Our Heroes at North Lincoln Middle! North Middle hosted a First Responders Breakfast to show appreciation for the men and women who serve and protect our community. What a wonderful way to say thank you to those who are always there when we need them!

Trunk or Treat at Asbury Academy! Asbury welcomed students from Exceptional Children programs across LCS for a special Trunk or Treat celebration! It was a fun opportunity to bring students together from across the district for a little Halloween excitement and plenty of smiles!

Rivals on the Field, United in Respect! Before the football game at Lincolnton High School, cheerleaders from LHS and West Lincoln High School came together in prayer. A meaningful reminder that even when our schools compete, sportsmanship and respect extend far beyond the scoreboard.

Learning at West Lincoln Middle! We stopped by Mrs. Toni Sain's classroom for a glimpse of learning in action! It's the everyday moments inside our classrooms that remind us of the important work happening across our schools.

Whether we're honoring community partners, celebrating students, demonstrating sportsmanship, or learning in the classroom, there's always something worth sharing when you look around Lincoln County Schools!

National Principals Month: Principal Spotlight – Mrs. Jordan Beam, S. Ray Lowder Elementary!

It's the FINAL day of National Principals Month, and last but certainly not least, we're celebrating Mrs. Jordan Beam of S. Ray Lowder Elementary! What better way to wrap up a month of recognizing our incredible school leaders than by shining the spotlight on one more?

With more than 13 years of experience in education as both a classroom teacher and assistant principal, Mrs. Beam is now in her second year leading the Lowder Lions! She's passionate about building strong relationships with students, staff, and families and continuing to make S. Ray Lowder a wonderful place to learn and work.

What's in Mrs. Beam's Principal Starter Kit?

Coffee to get the day started, Chapstick because it's an everyday essential, and her cell phone to keep up with all things Lowder! But three of her most important essentials aren't things you can buy: laughter to make even the busiest days a little brighter, hugs because sometimes that's exactly what a student (or teacher!) needs, and her assistant principal, Mrs. Davis!

Because when you're leading a school full of Lions, a great leadership partner, a good laugh, and a few hugs can go a long way!

Thank you, Mrs. Beam, for your heart for students, your positive leadership, and the love you pour into the Lowder community every day!

As we close out National Principals Month, we also want to extend one final THANK YOU to all 23 of our Lincoln County Schools principals! Your leadership, dedication, and commitment to students make a difference every single day. We appreciate you!
