Jonathan Paylor, the talented Freshman running back from NC State University 🐺, returned to his ABSS roots this #ReadAcrossAmerica Week, bringing smiles and inspiration to students at his former elementary school, Eastlawn Elementary.
Despite his impressive accolades - ranked No. 10 player at the RB position in the nation and No. 5 in North Carolina by 247Sports, and over 3,000 all-purpose yards at Cummings High - Paylor read to a class, signed autographs, and even good-naturedly accepted arm-wrestling challenges from the starstruck kids. 💪🏾
His actions send the powerful message that with hard work, perseverance, and a humble spirit, great heights can be achieved while still giving back to the community that shaped you. ABSS takes immense pride in Jonathan Paylor! Go Pack! 🐺
This School Social Worker Week, we honor the incredible school social workers who make a profound impact on our students' lives. These dedicated professionals play a vital role in advocating for students, providing counseling and guidance, and connecting families with essential resources. Their unwavering commitment to fostering positive and inclusive learning environments is invaluable. From addressing mental health to navigating complex situations, our school social workers are compassionate problem-solvers and champions for student success. Join us in expressing gratitude for their tireless efforts and dedication to uplifting our school community.
We have an update on the Spring Break travels of our ABSS Early College at ACC students! 🇮🇹 🇩🇪
🏛️ Over the past week, they have been embarking on an educational journey through the historic sites and cultural wonders of Italy and Germany. From the grand Colosseum and Roman Forum to the breathtaking Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica, our students are experiencing these world-famous landmarks and works of art firsthand in a way that vividly brings their classroom lessons alive.
🕯️This trip also provides moments of reflection, as our students pay respect at Dachau and connect their Holocaust studies to the powerful realities of the past. Coupled with visits to a Bavarian castle and the streets of Romeo and Juliet, it is a wonderful opportunity to broaden their global perspectives.
📷 We can see them here in front of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City and the Colosseum in Rome - memories to cherish for a lifetime! Safe travels, adventurers!
Ready, Set, Read! 💥 It's #ReadAcrossAmerica Week and our students and staff are celebrating in creative ways!
E.M. Holt Elementary School students have been having a blast dressing up as their favorite Dr. Seuss characters. From the Cat in the Hat to Thing 1 and Thing 2, the school is filled with whimsical characters from the beloved children's books.
We encourage everyone to grab a book and join the fun by reading for at least 10 minutes today. Whether you're a student, parent, or member of the #ABSSCommunity, let's celebrate the joy of reading together.
🏄♂️ Cowabunga! Let's ride the wave and celebrate National School Breakfast Week! 🌊
National School Breakfast Week reminds us that a nutritious breakfast is totally rad when it comes to fueling our students for success. It's a stellar start to each day. ☀️
Let's show our appreciation for all our school nutrition crew's hard work in providing healthy breakfast options to power our students! 👏 Check out the staff at Western Alamance High School, Haw River Elementary School, and Altamahaw Ossipee Elementary. Their festive tropical decorations and outfits themed around "Surf's Up with School Breakfast" had these kiddos smiling! 🌴
ICYMI: Facebook was down today! 🫢 When technology fails, reading with a friend is always a great idea. 📖 As we see here at Eastlawn Elementary, our exceptional teachers foster a passion for reading and learning, with or without screens. #StudentCenteredFutureFocused

Shedding new light 💡 on history! During their specials time with Ms. House, the 4th-grade students at Elon Elementary learned about the history of the North Carolina coast, the ⚓️ Graveyard of the Atlantic, and the importance of lighthouses in the 1700s and 1800s. To showcase their knowledge, they created a digital timeline using Google Drawings, a slideshow presentation, a Google Earth 🌍 mapping project, and handcrafted model lighthouses. The students are excited to exhibit their impressive creations, which demonstrate their deep understanding of this fascinating era in coastal history. #StudentCenteredFutureFocused
Southeast Alamance High School will be holding a candlelight vigil this evening at 7:30 PM to honor the memories of two of our Stallions who recently passed away. We invite all students, families, and staff to join in front of the flagpole. Our hearts go out to the loved ones of these two young lives cut tragically short. Let us remember them together as one Stallion family.
South Graham Elementary continued to celebrate acts of kindness with two exciting events this week. First, 49 students who completed their punch cards enjoyed a fantastic Skating Party at Roll-a-Bout. 🛼
Then, it was time to hit the track as 15 students celebrated with some friendly racing competition in Mario Kart. Officer Edwards joined in, though he was hit by a few green shells and put back in 6th place! 🎮
These events showcased our students' dedication to making a positive impact through their acts of kindness. Way to go!

We're so proud of our talented Broadview Middle School students! They wrote and illustrated their very own books to read with the Eastlawn Elementary students this week. 📚 The Broadview students shared their one-of-a-kind creations with kindergarteners, 1st graders, and 2nd graders, providing literacy support in the dual language classes as well. It was heartwarming to see these young authors set such wonderful learning examples for students at Eastlawn Elementary!
Speaking confidently in front of an audience takes practice, as these 9th graders from our Early College demonstrated in their well-researched and compelling presentations at the ABEC Ted Talk Symposium. Their hard work clearly paid off with thought-provoking speeches on a range of important topics! #StudentCenteredFutureFocused
🌟 Congratulations to Moses and Madison for being this month's STAR Student & Staff! They were recognized at tonight's Board Meeting.
🌠 From Assistant Principal Sparks - "Moses is a hard worker and so kind to his peers. He always displays the Western way!"
🌠 From Principal Brown - "Ms. Pierce does an outstanding job modeling and showing students a variety of career paths that are available for students after high school.

💕 The spirit of kindness has been embraced at Grove Park Elementary this month through the #KindnessMattersNC Challenge!
The Jr. Bulldog's Student Government sponsored a bulletin board and food drive to spread kindness. When students were "caught" doing an act of kindness, their names and acts were added to a displayed heart chain. The Student Government also held a food for our #ABSSCommunity.
✨These young leaders are shining examples of kindness in action!
