🎃 Central Office Kicks Off FA-BOO-LOUS Week with Spirit and Style! 👻

Central Office started the first day of FA-BOO-LOUS Week with excitement and creativity, bringing festive fall energy to the building! Staff showed off their dress-up spirit, embracing the fun as part of a weeklong celebration full of costumes, treats, and themed days. It’s just the beginning of a spirited week of team connection, laughter, and boo-tiful participation across the district!

🐢✨ The FA-BOO-LOUS fun rolls on! From creative costumes across our schools to Dr. Hardy showing up at CEES as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, our spirit is stronger than ever. 🎃👻 #ThriveInTheHive

Thank you to our faith-based partners for joining us at the Fall Faith-Based Advisory Brunch! 💙🧡 Together, we’re building stronger connections between schools and churches to ensure every student has the resources, mentoring, and encouragement they need to thrive. It’s a great day to be a Yellow Jacket! 🐝✨ #ThriveInTheHive #BeSomebody #LevelUp

Lexington City Schools Celebrate the North Carolina Crunch!

Last week, Lexington City Schools joined districts across the state for the annual North Carolina Crunch, celebrating local agriculture and healthy eating. Fresh NC-grown apples, delivered by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture, were enjoyed by students in classroom tastings, nutrition lessons, and schoolwide “crunch” events.

The event highlighted the importance of supporting North Carolina farmers while bringing students and staff together for a fun, educational experience.
