Due to high winds, we have lost power at several schools. At this time, we do not plan to release students early given the current conditions. Power is estimated to be restored between 11-11:30am. We will continue to monitor conditions to ensure the safety of students and staff.
Join us next week to celebrate our Military Families. Students who participate may wear jeans!
PURPLE STAR. Being our first school to earn the NC Department of Public Instruction’s Purple Star Award is not just an honor. It documents how J. Glenn Edwards Elementary has made a special commitment to serve military families and help their students thrive.
🪖 Providing stability for students’ often-chaotic lives is just one link between our schools and the United States military. Students are now preparing for public service in high school JROTC programs and several graduates now attend our nation’s service academies. #LCSthrive

Our area experiences a partial solar eclipse today from 1:57-4:28 pm. The maximum partial eclipse in Sanford is at 3:14 pm. A few reminders:
It is NEVER safe to look directly at the Sun. Looking at the Sun, even briefly, can cause permanent damage to your retinas and even blindness.
The only glasses which are safe for using are those labeled as ISO 12312-2 certified. Regular sunglasses, swimming goggles, smartphones, cameras, and telescopes are NOT safe for looking directly at the Sun.
Outdoor activities within LCS will be limited until after 4:30 p.m. Have fun and stay safe!
