It is time for a Penny War! From March 17 to March 30, GEM PTA is hosting a fundraiser to raise money for Field Day. The rules are simple: add pennies and bills to your own grade's jar to gain points, or "sabotage" other grades by dropping silver coins in their jars to subtract points. The grade level with the most points at the end of the war wins a pizza party!
Point Breakdown:
Add points with Pennies (1), $1 bills (100), $5 bills (500), $10 bills (1000), and $20 bills (2000).
Subtract points from rivals with Nickels (5), Dimes (10), Quarters (25), and Silver Dollars (100).
Check your change and let the games begin!

February is Love the Bus Month, and the week of February 9–15 is Love the Bus Week. This is a special time to recognize and thank our incredible bus drivers and transportation staff who safely get our students to and from school each day. Their dedication, patience, and care make a difference for our students. We are grateful for all our drivers do for our G.E. Massey students.
Thank you especially to our bus drivers: Mr. Beard, Ms. Flanigan, Mrs. Williamson, Ms. Moody, Ms. Mollohan, and Mrs. Ray.
Thank you especially to our bus drivers: Mr. Beard, Ms. Flanigan, Mrs. Williamson, Ms. Moody, Ms. Mollohan, and Mrs. Ray.
February is our month of appreciation, and we need your help to make it special.
Each year, our community sends about 1,500 thank-you messages to Lincoln County Schools staff members, and every single one is printed and delivered. These notes mean more than you realize, and many are saved long after February ends.
If a teacher, bus driver, custodian, office staff member, cafeteria worker, or any other staff member has made a difference for you or your child, take a moment to let them know. It only takes a minute, but it can make someone’s whole day.

A note from our librarian, Mrs. Hyde:
📚 Snow Day? Perfect Reading Day! ❄️
Since we’re home today because of dangerous road conditions, this is a great time to curl up, stay warm, and enjoy a good book! Families can access thousands of digital books and audiobooks through Libby—all from home.
✨ No Chromebook required! Libby works on phones, tablets, computers, and many e-readers, so students can read or listen on whatever device they have available.
To get started:
1️⃣ Download the Libby app or visit the Libby website.
2️⃣ Tap “Add a Library” and enter your zip code.
3️⃣ Look for NC Kids Digital Library (K–5) and NC Kids Level Up (3–8). You can add both!
4️⃣ Choose “Sign in with my card.”
5️⃣ Select Lincoln County.
6️⃣ Enter the student’s school ID number for the card number.
7️⃣ The password is the last 4 digits of the student ID.
Once logged in, students will have instant access to thousands of ebooks and audiobooks—including titles that may not be available in our school library.
🎧 Don’t forget the audiobooks! They’re perfect for listening while relaxing, building Legos, drawing, or staying cozy with a blanket and hot cocoa.
Stay safe, stay warm, and happy reading! 📖💙
Skating into Remote Learning on Tuesday, January 27th. All students brought home packets for learning on Friday.

What did you do in art this week?? Well our 5th graders made DRAGON EYES! One of the coolest, most fun lessons. Can’t wait until the clay dries and they can paint them. Stay tuned. 💎

Thank you to the Lincoln County School Board for providing our staff with a much needed coffee bar last week and thank you to Chick-fil-A Lincolnton for the sweet gift for office staff today.
Feeling incredibly full—in heart and stomach! The biggest thanks to our first grade team for hosting such a beautiful Friendsgiving gathering. Today we gathered together for a “Taste of Lincolnton”. It’s rare we can just relax and remember how thankful we are to have our school family and friends.
Thank you to all the amazing generous businesses that donated food and time to make this event the best. 💎
A huge shout out!!

Pack pride was in full force today! Our 1st grade pups trotted over to Lincolnton High School for the "Building Our Pack" initiative, and the Fall Crawl was pawsitively amazing—treats, games, and all the fall fun! But here's where it got really good: watching our high schoolers look at these bouncing bundles of energy and think, "Wow, that was me!" Meanwhile, our little ones stared up at the big kids like they were actual celebrities, dreaming about the day they'd be the cool high schoolers (which will be here before we can blink). It's moments like these that show what pack life is all about—we're all on the same adventure, just running at different speeds!
