Unity Fri-Yay! Come together as a community of unity and wear green as a symbol to prevent Gun Violence and share your photos in the comments! Gun violence is preventable when you know the signs. “Say Something” upstanders have helped Sandy Hook Promise prevent 7 school shootings and 60+ acts of violence with a weapon.

Parents, Please adhere to the carline procedures. There is a clearly identified course for morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. DO NOT cut the line. DO NOT drive on the gravel path near the water tower. Enter the Carline off of Red Oak Battleboro Road at the Yellow Gate and proceed down the paved loop road into the parking/pickup area. I appreciate the overwhelming majority of those that do the right thing each day! Common sense and safety should come first! If you find yourself running late, get up earlier. The PM Carline will be adjusted tomorrow, March 7th, due to our Cross Country Meet. It will be blocked and the yellow gate should be your point of entry after 3:50pm. Thank you in advance!

In 4 out of 5 school shootings, at least one other person had knowledge of the attacker’s plan but failed to report it. People who hurt themselves or others often show warning signs before they carry out an act of violence. #SaySomethingWeek #SaySomethingSavesLives #NCPSchools
