This week our Belmont kindergartners have been learning about cows and how important they are to us. Students got to play the part of farmers and even learned how to milk them. Thanks Ms. Lambert for making learning fun for our Belmont Bees. #TogetherWeSucceed #BelmontBees
What a great story of learning! Back in October, our Manning 2nd graders read Pumpkin Jack, a story about a little boy named Tim who carved a pumpkin (Jack) for Halloween and later threw it out in a field where it began to rot. Once Tim thought Jack was gone forever, he kicked some dirt over the remains and forgot about it. Then when spring arrived, Tim found a sprout where Jack once was and began taking care of it. By fall he had a new pumpkin.
Students in Mrs. Duncan's class decided to see if they could successfully recreate the events in the story. They carved their own Pumpkin Jack and let him rot in a sealed container. Once the pumpkin was unrecognizable, they covered it with more soil , closed it, and sealed it back. Students to got see the first pumpkin sprout this week. Thanks Mrs. Duncan for making learning truly come to LIFE for our students. #TogetherWeSucceed #ManningMustangs

We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of HCC President Dr. Michael Elam. Dr. Elam was always supportive of our district. He was actively involved in our Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG) Advisory Council, Business Advisory Council, worked with us to increase community college offerings for RRHS students, and was instrumental in helping us open Roanoke Rapids Early College High School. On behalf of our RRGSD family, including our Board of Trustees, I want to send my deepest condolences today to his family and the entire HCC family. Dr. Elam will be missed. - Julie Thompson, Interim Superintendent

The RRGSD family is mourning the death of one of our former board members today. Dr. Fred Eugene Wier served 12 years on the Roanoke Rapids Graded School District Board of Trustees starting in 1997 through 2009. Dr. Wier, being an avid learner himself, exhibited extraordinary passion during his public service to the school district and was forthright regarding his stand on issues while always looking out for the best interest of the students, staff, parents, and our community. His funeral will be held on January 30 at 2:00 p.m. at the Fletcher Seventh Day Adventist located at 1141 Howard Gap Road in Hendersonville, NC. His family requests memorial donations be made to Vidant North Development Council in memory of Dr. Fred Wier, Department of Surgery. Plans are underway to celebrate the life of Dr. Wier at a later date in Roanoke Rapids. #RRGSDCommunity

A fun day of learning today at Belmont. What better way to remember the relationship with Q and U than a Q & U wedding? Both letters promised to work together in words as QU to make words. Pretty much letters Q and U will always be together in words that start with a Q. After the wedding, we had a ceremony with cake and the "letters" received gifts that started with QU ( a quilt, quarters, and a pic of a queen). #TogetherWeSucceed #Letterland #BelmontBees
Today, we honor the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. #MLKDay #TogetherWeSucceed
