The Farm Expo for all 4th-grade students took place on

Wednesday, April 25th during Farm to School Week

It was a beautiful day to have 26 booths on display for all students to interact and learn about various aspects of the farming industry.

The cows, baby chicks, tractors, crops, and food samples were all very well received by our young scholars. Thank you to the New Bern National Guard Armory for hosting us and to all the vendors and volunteers who made this event possible.

A special shout-out to our School Nutrition Staff who worked extremely hard on this week full of learning and great eating. The event was also extended to 4th graders from Jones County Schools. It was a great day of learning for all.

APRIL IS MONTH OF THE MILITARY CHILD AND CCS IS SO FORTUNATE TO HAVE THESE MILITARY-CONNECTED STUDENTS AS PART OF OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT! Thank you for the difference you make.
