ABSS Alert: We are aware of multiple Facebook posts claiming a Graham High School student's alleged hospitalization due to mold, we want to clarify that this claim is untrue. We've received no official confirmation, and our administration is unaware of any such incident.
The post also references maintenance and carpentry crews, but they are at the school for thermostat adjustments and whiteboard installations, not mold-related work. Students are safe and comfortable in their designated areas.
Your children's safety is our top priority, and we'll address any concerns as needed. Thanks for your understanding and support.
When studying the events of September 11, 2001, teacher Ms. Betty at Broadview Middle School offered her students a personal, human view of that tragic day in addition to the historical perspective. As a resident of New York City in 2001, she shared her own experiences, bringing history vividly to life for her students. This created a deeper understanding and connection for her students. #NeverForget
Our Board Chair Sandy Ellington-Graves was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. While this is difficult news, Sandy is approaching her treatment with incredible strength, grace, and optimism. To show our support, ABSS staff members wore pink today. Some football teams are wearing pink jerseys and Southeast Alamance painted the "50" on their field. Sandy, we are all behind you during this challenging time. Your courage inspires us. Together, we can uplift her spirits as she starts this fight. Sandy, you are not alone. Leave Sandy a message of encouragement below! 💗 #ABSSSupportsSandy
