Our schools are places where community happens.
Incredible community was on full display tonight at Broadway Elementary as they kicked off their celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month with the school's annual talent show. A packed auditorium was on hand to provide the encouragement young people need to pursue their passions and the support they need to thrive. What a great gift to the students at Broadway Elementary to go to school every day in a community that is ready to do what it takes to push these young students to meet the challenges that lay in front of them. #LCSthrive

Community Partners helping student dreams come true.
Last year when Deep River Elementary's Student Government decided on a fundraiser, they hoped to raise $35,000 for updated playground equipment on the lower grades playground. Thanks to a generous $35,000 donation from Wake Stone Corporation and the generous giving of so many others in the community, the SGA and school raised over $60K and was able to fully fund the playground renovation AND make updates to the upper grades playground as well.
This story is a true testament to what can be done when a dream meets support and generosity. Read more about today's ribbon cutting at Deep River Elementary School here: https://www.lee.k12.nc.us/article/1761331
