Today, the students and staff at Asbury Academy came together to observe the 25th anniversary of 9/11.
At 8:46 AM, the entire school paused for a quiet moment of silence to honor and remember the lives lost on that day. Following the observance, Asbury Academy’s own Mrs. Davis shared a deeply personal presentation with our community. She reflected on her firsthand experience as a high school senior living in Rutherford, New Jersey, describing what that morning and its aftermath were like for her and her family.
Her testimony provided our students with a powerful, living connection to history, reminding us all of the strength, unity, and resilience that define our community.

Huge thanks to Tanya from the Lincoln County Cooperative Extension's 4-H program for visiting Asbury Works today! She gave our students an inside look at the Veterinary Technician profession—sharing what the job entails day-to-day and how to pursue a career in vet tech medicine.
The highlight of the day? A hands-on pet first aid workshop! Tanya taught students how to safely apply emergency bandages to injured pets to stabilize them before heading to the clinic. Working in teams, students tackled different real-world scenarios and practiced their bandaging skills on various types of animals.
Our students walked away with practical skills, teamwork experience, and a fresh spark for animal care.

September is Attendance Awareness Month, and Asbury Academy is proud to join Lincoln County Schools in reminding families of a simple yet powerful message: Be Here. Every single day in the classroom counts toward a student's success, confidence, and connection to their school community.
Two Asbury Academy students are taking active leadership in this effort by helping track daily school attendance. By visually plotting attendance data on the wall chart each day, these students help keep the entire school accountable for their learning goals and reinforce a culture where showing up is celebrated.
Why Attendance Matters
Academic Growth: Regular attendance directly impacts reading level, math performance, and overall course completion. Missing just two days a month adds up to losing 10% of the school year.
Building Habits: Consistent attendance builds essential life skills, including time management, dependability, and personal responsibility.
Staying Connected: Being present allows students to build strong relationships with peers and teachers, creating a supportive environment where everyone can thrive.
Let's work together to make every day count. Encourage your student to Be Here, all day, every day.

Today during Asbury Works, students put their communication and teamwork skills to the ultimate test today during an engaging team-building activity in the gymnasium. The interactive exercise was designed to highlight the importance of clear listening, precise verbal directions, and mutual trust between partners.
Working in pairs, one student served as the navigator while the other took on the role of the blindfolded walker—using pulled-up hoodie shrouds and covered eyes to block out their sight completely. Plastic cups were scattered across the gym floor, creating a minefield-style obstacle course that required careful coordination to navigate.
To succeed, the guiding partners had to carefully call out clear, step-by-step instructions—such as "take two small steps to your left," "pivot slightly right," or "lift your foot directly ahead"—to safely guide their sightless partners toward a target cup. Once in position, the blindfolded student had to rely entirely on their partner's voice to stomp down and crush the plastic cup target.
The activity brought plenty of energy, focus, and laughter to the room while delivering a practical lesson on effective communication in dynamic environments. By stripping away visual cues, students learned firsthand how specific direction and active listening are crucial components of successful teamwork.

Today, the staff at Asbury Academy came together to honor and remember the incredible Dolly Parton. To celebrate her life, legacy, and boundless generosity, our team dressed up in true Dolly style.
Dolly was so much more than a music icon; she was a champion for education and literacy. Through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, her passion for reading has left a lasting impact on our students and our entire community, inspiring a love of books for generations.
We are deeply grateful for the joy, love, and inspiration she brought into the world. Her legacy will continue to shine bright in our halls and in the hearts of the readers she helped create.

From seed to snack!
This week, our students harvested the watermelons and cucumbers they’ve been growing in the Asbury Roots garden!
Not only did they get to enjoy the juicy watermelon right off the vine, but they also learned how to turn their cucumbers into homemade pickles—which will be ready for a taste test in about a week.
Watching our students connect with the process of growing their own fresh produce has been an incredible experience. Stay tuned for the pickle verdict!

The students of Asbury Academy have spent the entire school year planting, watering, weeding, and caring for the Asbury Roots garden. Through their dedication, patience, and hard work, they are now enjoying the rewards of their efforts as harvest season arrives.
Fresh vegetables and other garden delights are now available for purchase through the school. If you would like to support our students and enjoy locally grown produce, please call the school Monday through Thursday between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM for availability and purchasing information.
Every purchase helps our students continue learning through hands-on experiences.

The pressure might be on, but our Asbury Academy students are staying focussed!
End-of-year state testing is right around the corner, and our halls are buzzing with hard work and determination. To keep the mood light and the energy high, Mr. Turbo made his rounds today in a full lobster suit to check in on everyone’s progress!
It’s definitely not your average day at school, but it’s a great reminder that even when we're working hard, we can still have a little fun. Our students are proving to be absolute lob-stars as they tackle their final prep!
Keep pushing, Asbury! You’ve got this hook, line, and sinker.
This week, Pursuit Church hosted a Luau Party for the students at Asbury Academy. It was a wonderful opportunity for the students to reflect on their hard work and celebrate their accomplishments throughout the school year.
The festivities included a special visit from the Monster Ice Cream truck, where students enjoyed a variety of treats. Even with the rain, the energy remained high as we held a basketball game between the students and staff. We are grateful for the support of the community as we celebrate our Asbury Pirates!

Today at Asbury Academy, our students demonstrated the true meaning of civic duty by partnering with the City of Lincolnton Fire Department for a vital community service project. Working alongside local firefighters, the students inspected and repainted seven fire hydrants throughout our school neighborhood to ensure they remain highly visible and functional for emergency responders. This initiative not only beautifies our local streets but also plays a critical role in keeping our community safe and protected, and we are incredibly proud of our students for lending their time and energy to such a meaningful cause.
