First grade is where it's at for me!! I love teaching, singing and riding with my husband on his Harley. Family, weekends & Summers on the lake are the best!

🌟🌟🌟 Thank you, Dr. Elliott!

[Scott Elliott @scottelliott_nc]

To all the public school haters, social media stars/self promoters, and critical friends: we appreciate all the advice about re-evisioning education but right now we're busy loving on our students and feeding the community. We'll catch back up with you in the fall.

There's no state mandated testing. This doesn't mean we overload younger students to the point that they and/or parents are stressed out. It's not about outdoing others virtually.
Relationships before Rigor
Grace before Grades
Patience before Programs
Love before Lessons

Dear Education, please don't over-complicate this situation. Let teachers offer some enrichment,encourage students to read, & check in on their students! Then let them take care of their own families, elderly parents, food shortages, etc. Don't make us look worse than politicians

[Sarah Cardwell @sarahwcardwell]

Look at this team prepping for students! @GreenValley_828 #wearewatauga

[Bobby Jones @bjonesjr72]

@GreenValley_828 teachers have been working hard to prepare Remote Learning Lessons and set up for parents to pick up assignments, devices, class materials, and personal items!

[Emma Willard @msemmawillard]

We're ready for you, @GreenValley_828! 7th grade friends: we'll see you between 10:30-12:30. #ilovemyschool

[Watauga County Schools @WataugaSchools]

Already, teachers and staff at @GreenValley_828 have sent home 14 meals with families. Most of the meals were organized and ready by the time the car pulled up. These folks don't just love their students, they know their parents and families. That's what #WeAreWatauga means.

[Mitzi Ledford @mitzi_ledford]

Some sweet person/people left this little note of encouragement on my car today. It’s the little things that can bless you so much! Watauga County is the best place to learn and work!!

[Mitzi Ledford @mitzi_ledford]
