Upper School Families,
We’ve had a fantastic Spirit Week! It’s been great seeing students show their school spirit, and we can’t wait to dance the night away at tonight’s Homecoming Dance!
Join us in congratulating Coach Burroughs, who was named the Blue Ridge Athletic Conference’s Girls Varsity Volleyball Coach of the Year! Coach B has built an incredible culture and turned our Volleyball program into a powerhouse. The Lady Kingfishers finished the regular season undefeated in conference play and are competing for IC Imagine’s first-ever conference championship. Congratulations, Coach B — you truly deserve it!
Senior portrait retakes are Monday, October 13. Basketball tryouts begin next week—see this week’s Athletics Newsletter for more information.
Reminder that our Chorus program is hosting a GotSneakers fundraiser, and it runs till the 16th. Donate gently used athletic sneakers to help raise funds for our program while keeping shoes out of landfills.
October is Disability Awareness Month! We’re excited to share that a new group is forming for families and friends of our students with disabilities, with the goal of promoting inclusion, awareness, and understanding both on campus and in the wider community. As part of our celebration, we’re donating literature featuring themes of inclusion to every lower school classroom. Want to learn more or get involved? Contact Heather Cheezem at CheezemHL@icloud.com or (704) 517‑8829.
Save the Date! Unity Day is Wednesday, October 22. Wear ORANGE to show your support for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion—and to remind everyone that no child should ever experience bullying.
Warmly,
Upper School Principals
