A young boy in a colorful tie-dye shirt holds a purple balloon and points toward a whiteboard. Overlaid text in a sunset-gradient font reads, "KINDERGARTEN OPEN HOUSE IS APRIL 24." The bottom right corner features the "ABSS" logo for Alamance-Burlington School System with the tagline "Student Centered, Future Focused!"
Two young girls sit at a classroom table, smiling and playfully pointing to their heads as they participate in a reading activity. In the foreground, flashcards with letters and drawings are visible. Bold, stylized text overlaid on the image reads, "I CAN READ IT, I CAN SAY IT, I CAN KNOW IT!"
Big goals start with small sparks of inspiration! High Schoolers from the Career & Technical Education Center visited Haw River Elementary to give students a hands-on look at the skills they are learning in culinary arts, nursing, computer engineering, animation, automotive, and carpentry! #ABSSCTE #ThisisABSS

The students represent various career paths, including two in culinary uniforms (red chef coats and white aprons/toques), one in a nursing fundamentals shirt, and others in casual attire representing automotive, carpentry, and animation programs.
A group of elementary school children sit on a wooden floor, happily tasting samples provided by the culinary arts program. A girl in the center wearing a pink Grinch shirt enjoys a small spoonful of food.

A high school student sits at a table displaying a mix of Automotive and Carpentry tools, including a circular saw and an engine piston. He explains the different mechanical career paths to elementary students wearing yellow safety vests.

Good morning again, To the parents of students on bus 55: please try to carpool if you miss the bus. The buses are not allowed to go back due rising fuel costs. There are some exceptions but likely won’t happen. Unfortunately, we do not know when 175 will be at certain stops, so please be on the look out and be outside. We will let you know if there are any other bus changes. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

As we begin the third week of March, we continue focusing on our CKH character trait of Courage. Courage means doing the right thing even when it is difficult, trying new things, and standing up for others. Throughout the week, teachers will continue to encourage students to show courage in their learning by asking questions, persevering through challenges, and supporting their classmates.

We also want to remind families that there will be no school on Thursday, March 19. We hope everyone enjoys the day and takes time to relax and recharge.

Thank you for your continued support as we work together to help our students grow both academically and socially.

Have a wonderful week! 🌟📚

Al comenzar la tercera semana de marzo, seguimos enfocándonos en nuestro rasgo de carácter CKH: la Valentía. Valentía significa hacer lo correcto incluso cuando es difícil, probar cosas nuevas y defender a los demás. A lo largo de la semana, los maestros seguirán animando a los estudiantes a demostrar valentía en su aprendizaje haciendo preguntas, perseverando ante los desafíos y apoyando a sus compañeros.

También queremos recordarles a las familias que no habrá clases el miércoles 19 de marzo. Esperamos que todos disfruten del día y se tomen un tiempo para relajarse y recargar energías.

Gracias por su continuo apoyo mientras trabajamos juntos para ayudar a nuestros estudiantes a crecer tanto académica como socialmente.

¡Que tengan una semana maravillosa! 🌟📚
