Going for the Gold in 2012-2013! Have you noticed our large banner hanging at the entrance to the Media Center? It is a visual to mark our theme for the school year. As we embark on our educational journey to increase student achievement and decrease the achievement gap our work will reference the Olympics and the character attributes that the Olympians possess to succeed. I'll share with you more about our collective work as a staff as we move into the new school year.
This week will host our first General PTA Meeting on Thursday in the multipurpose room. Doors will open at 5:15 and the general meeting will begin at 6:00 p.m. A movie will shown be immediately following the brief PTA meeting. The PTA will serve free popcorn as well. You are welcome to bring in dinner and a blanket for your family. I hope you can join us for some family fun!
Our growing student population has allowed for the addition of new teachers. I would like to "feature" each new staff member. A photo and a brief biography will be shared for each new staff member. It is exciting to be able to grow our staff and bring on these outstanding teachers to our BRES school family!
Mrs. McLaurin~ Kindergarten Track 3
My name is Sommer McLaurin and I am excited to join the Banks Road Elementary family! I have been a kindergarten teacher in Harnett County for the previous five years and look forward to working within my community. I live in Fuquay Varina with my husband and two dogs. I love to read, travel, and I am a big UNC fan! I look forward to working with you and your child this year!
We are off to a wonderful start here at BRES! We continue to blaze the trail of success and I am so glad you are a part of our learning community.
