This morning, the Student Lighthouse Team at Union Elementary School put leadership into action by becoming chefs for the day. 🥞🥓 Students prepared and served a pancake and bacon breakfast for school staff, modeling the 7 Habits through teamwork, responsibility, and servant leadership. It was a meaningful—and memorable—way to start the final day of school before winter break.

✨ Flashback Friday! ✨
Today we’re featuring Mrs. Beth Mauney Ludwig — a proud Lincoln County Schools graduate who is now giving back to students at West Lincoln High School!
📚 Mrs. Ludwig attended G.E. Massey, Asbury, Lincolnton Middle, and Lincolnton High. She remembers the many wonderful teachers she had, but especially credits Mrs. Deanna Moretz for making math “click” in high school. Mrs. Ludwig recalls, “She had such patience and wit about her that all my previous fears seemed to melt away, and my confidence grew.”
🍎 Today, Mrs. Ludwig serves as the Career Development Coordinator in the CTE department at WLHS. She is passionate about helping students succeed and values the strong sense of collaboration and support among LCS educators.
💬 Mrs. Ludwig shares:
“What I love most about my job is helping students with career planning. Many students feel uncertain about their future, and making that decision can be overwhelming. I enjoy engaging in discussions with them to learn more about their interests and aspirations, allowing me to provide meaningful resources to help them make informed choices.
It’s incredibly satisfying when a career conversation leads to a student signing up for an internship, even if they discover that the career they initially considered isn’t the right fit. Students need to understand that it’s perfectly acceptable to pivot and change directions; doing so does not equate to failure. This realization brings me the greatest satisfaction in my work.”
💙 Thank you, Mrs. Ludwig, for your dedication to our students and for inspiring them to dream big while reminding them that it’s okay to change direction.

🥔✨ Spotted at WLHS this morning… Mr. Potato Head! ✨🥔
Even in 14-degree weather, Mr. Potato Head braved the cold to stop by West Lincoln High School and wish our Rebels the best of luck on their EOC tests today! 💪📚
He warmed the halls with plenty of high-fives and hugs, proving that a little encouragement (and a lot of fun) goes a long way.
Good luck, Rebels—you’ve got this! ❤️🖤
