Community Partners helping student dreams come true.
Last year when Deep River Elementary's Student Government decided on a fundraiser, they hoped to raise $35,000 for updated playground equipment on the lower grades playground. Thanks to a generous $35,000 donation from Wake Stone Corporation and the generous giving of so many others in the community, the SGA and school raised over $60K and was able to fully fund the playground renovation AND make updates to the upper grades playground as well.
This story is a true testament to what can be done when a dream meets support and generosity. Read more about today's ribbon cutting at Deep River Elementary School here: https://www.lee.k12.nc.us/article/1761331
UPDATE- Bus 19 is leaving now to pick up Bus 17 students. Students will not be marked tardy and be given breakfast.
Good morning! Bus 17 will be a double route this morning due a shortage of bus drivers. Students will be picked up 1 hour and 15 mins later than normal by bus 19. Students will not be marked tardy and we will have breakfast for these students when they arrive on campus. Thank you for understanding the delay.
