St. Patrick's Day was celebrated early this past Thursday as a special dress-up day. While students got to enjoy the costuming, they also were exposed to the real story of the man, the early missionary, who was enslaved from England,but who later evangelized the Irish. | |

Is it Daylight Savings Time?
Maybe it should be called darkness savings time, since the nighttime seems to be extended until past 7:00 a.m. these days.
Here, the morning safety drive around the campus perimeter requires a flashlight!

Helpful hands!
Traffic is usually associated with cars and trucks, but in terms of buildings, hotels, or campuses, traffic refers to the multiple touches and hand and foot prints that occur, in addition to movement of items and trash.
Since so many students and staff members bustle through each day, in the alternating day format, there is much traffic. We're grateful for the students who assist to keep an orderly campus, and for the staff and parent who model this service well.

The girls varsity soccer season stands with old phrase... won one, lost one, and one got rained out. After holding a tough Greenville Classical team scoreless at half-time, the Mariners gave up some goals for a loss. The good news is that the season affords a rematch in a few weeks.
Friday's game against Westminster-Catawba was rained out.
Below, Megan Hodina scored an early second-half goal.
