CCMS Students
Take a Ride Down History Lane
On Friday, October
28th, Cedar Creek Middle School students in Mr. Schlafer’s
8th Grade Social Studies class completed a building blocks
project, with the focus on slavery. Students had to complete
three parts to this project: writing a paper, drawing a
slavery scene, and building
an object from the slavery era. A few students are shown
here presenting parts of their projects (Slave Ship, Globes
with the Triangle Trade
Route mapped on them, Plantation scene, Whips, and Shackles).
“My students have been working extremely hard over the
past 2 weeks on
their projects, and the quality of the projects is a direct
reflection of all the students’ hard work,” says Schlafer.

LOMES
"Supports Our Troops"
During
the month of October, Mrs. Jernigan’s first grade class
at Long Mill Elementary in Youngsville worked with North
Carolina State Employees’ Credit Union in their “Support
the Troops” campaign. Mrs. Jernigan’s class coordinated
a drive for wish list
items for our country’s service men and women. In order to
organize the event, the first grade students worked closely
with fifth grade
students for production of the video for the morning news,
collecting items, and carrying boxes.
Many students across several grades in
the school donated items and a multitude of letters were
written to the soldiers. A representative from State Employees
Credit Union picked
up the items. SECU will be packaging and mailing them
off to soldiers for Christmas. |
