Today we honor our amazing cafeteria team for National School Lunch Hero Day! 👏 From perfect pizza to kind smiles, you make our schools a better place. We stopped by South Mebane Elementary and Hillcrest today for these photos. Governor Stein was also at Hillcrest and took time to say thanks!
South Mebane Elementary School students took part in an exceptional Career Day featuring over 40 ABSS community members, thanks to the SME PTO! The school was bustling with an impressive array of professionals—from city council members and police officers to healthcare providers, beekeepers, engineers, armed forces personnel, photographers, personal trainers, martial artists, Delta representatives, City of Mebane officials, and many more!
Special thanks to NC Jelly Donuts and Ashlee Blackard of Mary Kay for providing the wonderful meet-and-greet breakfast for presenters. Our students thoroughly enjoyed exploring the hands-on exhibits and discovering potential career paths.
The PTO wishes to recognize the dedicated parent volunteers who made this event possible, the SME students for their exemplary behavior and insightful questions, and most importantly, all the community members who made such a meaningful impact by inspiring our future leaders!

We're proud to recognize three exceptional pottery students from Eastern Alamance High School who were recently honored in the prestigious Scholastic Art & Writing Awards!
🏆 Abby Weiss (Senior) - Silver Key for "Seasons Changing"
🐄 Aubrey Dial (Junior) - Honorable Mention for "Cream for your Tea?"
🎭 Emery Hill (Senior) - Honorable Mention for "Self Realization"
These students follow in impressive footsteps - Eastern's pottery program, led by Laura Daughtry, has produced several National Gold and Silver Medal winners over the past decade! In 2023, EAHS student Ainsley Dial (Aubrey's older sister) won a Gold Medal and was honored at Carnegie Hall in New York City alongside Ms. Daughtry.
Congratulations to these talented artists!

ABSS is proud to acknowledge the incredible efforts of school social workers in all our schools! School Social Workers are the vital link between school and community in providing services to students, families, and school personnel to assist and augment students' academic and social success. Their valuable work includes mental health evaluations, helping children develop social-emotional skills, attendance monitoring, and crisis intervention.
Our school social workers assist teachers with classroom management and provide parents with resources to assist their child throughout their academic career. They work behind the scenes to eliminate barriers to academic success by assisting with attendance, homelessness, and mental health.
Thank you to all of our school social workers who assist in ensuring all students have the support they need to succeed academically and socially!
BREAKFAST ALERT! Our nutrition team has served an impressive 642,000 breakfast meals so far this school year! We think that's something to celebrate during National School Breakfast Week! The Mystery of Why Breakfast Matters - Solved! Brain Power: Studies show that students who eat breakfast perform better academically, with improved concentration, memory, and problem-solving abilities. Energy for the Day: A nutritious breakfast provides essential energy that helps students stay focused and engaged throughout the morning, preventing the mid-morning slump. Nutritional Foundation: Breakfast provides a significant portion of daily nutritional needs, including fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals that support overall health and development. Thank you to our amazing nutrition staff for their commitment to nourishing our students every single day. Clue in to school breakfast - it's no mystery why it matters!
