This week, let's take a moment to recognize and appreciate the incredible work of school bus drivers and the vital role they play in our communities. School Bus Appreciation Week is the perfect opportunity to honor these dedicated individuals who ensure the safe transportation of our children to and from school every day. Their commitment to the well-being and safety of our children deserves our utmost recognition and gratitude.
School bus drivers not only navigate through various traffic conditions and weather challenges but also create a warm and welcoming environment for students during their daily commute. Their friendly and patient demeanor helps to create a positive and nurturing experience for our children, fostering a sense of security and familiarity as they embark on their educational journey. Let's take this opportunity to express our heartfelt thanks to all school bus drivers for their unwavering dedication and service to our communities.
Happy National School Counseling Week to all of our counselors at Mattamuskeet and Ocracoke Schools! You ladies, ROCK!

Let's walk!
Interested participants need to register by scanning the QR code. Once they have created a profile, they can then return to that page and “sign in.” Then they go to the challenges tab in the app (little trophy icon, second tab on the bottom) and find challenges to join. Of course, this one will be 'Walking Into Winter - Mattamuskeet School'
You will also need to connect their devices, which will sync their steps from a wearable (Apple watch, Garmin, Fitbit, etc.) to their mobile device, or they can just use their mobile device.
Let's all walk together to a much healthier lifestyle!
Mark your calendars!
