💡 Big dreams take a big team! 💡
Dr. Bell is launching an ambitious, hands-on Bright Ideas grant project with her students! This is a full-year effort running across both semesters, wrapping up this Spring.
Because this project is so big, we need community support to make it happen! Every single donation directly equips our students with the tools they need to succeed.
Please contact Dr. Bell at christina.bell@stokes.k12.nc.us for more information. The supplies listed can be dropped off in the front office!

Science meets sweet treats! 🍦
Mrs. Norfolk's 7th graders tackled their very first lab yesterday—a mystery lab! By following the "recipe" step-by-step, students learned that reading procedures carefully is the secret to great results (and great cooking). The best part? Their hard work was rewarded with delicious ice cream at the end! 🍨
