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.

ACCESS Parent Night: A Successful Event for Multilingual Families
On January 23, 2025, Lexington City Schools held a highly successful ACCESS Parent Night for parents and guardians of multilingual students (K-12) at the Lexington Senior High School Media Center. This event provided valuable information about the upcoming ACCESS testing, presented by Mrs. Susie Best, our ML Coordinator.
The session covered important details, including:
An overview of each domain in the ACCESS test
The impact of ACCESS scores on school growth
How parents can help prepare their students for the test
Parents also received a comprehensive resource packet to support their students' learning. Spanish interpretation was available to ensure that all families could fully engage in the discussion.
The turnout was impressive—more than double the attendance from last year—and the feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive.
Thank you to all the parents and guardians who attended and to the Lexington City Schools team for making this event a great success! Together, we are supporting our multilingual students and families to Thrive in the Hive.
Stay connected for more upcoming events and resources! #ThriveInTheHive #ACCESSParentNight
