There's a lot to LOVE ❤️️ this month and ABSS wants to shout out some couples who work in our district. We asked staff couples in the district to share their story. First up is Bear & Erika Bryant! Bear is the current Principal of Western Alamance High School. He started out in Guilford County but moved to ABSS in 2016. Erika is an Interventionist of Smith Elementary. She has spent most of her career in ABSS, teaching at Sylvan, EM Holt, BEJ, and Smith. Here is what Bear had to say: "Erika and I started dating our junior year of high school and have been together ever since (23 years!). We love the community feel here and are grateful for the many friends we have made in the district over the years. We are glad to call ABSS home!" #ABSSAskStaff
Here are some photos from the special assembly at @SylvanElem last Friday! These fifth graders are performing West African rhythms and dances thanks to the Simar Center for Performing Arts. It is extra special since this marks the sixth year Sylvan has hosted these artists.
The sun was shining during recess today at Highland Elementary and these two paused for the perfect photo. We hope it brightens your day! ☀️ #StudentCenteredFutureFocused

Kindergarten students at Elon Elementary recently celebrated a very happy Australia Day! 🇦🇺 Each grade level in our global schools focuses on a region in the world, with Oceania being Kindergarten's region of study. Students enjoyed participating in a range of fun, hands-on learning activities about the animals, landmarks and culture of Australia. 🐨🦘️The day featured an Aussie snack challenge where students prepared, tasted and then rated some popular snacks unique to Australia. There were many big thumbs up reviews for the lamington bites (sponge cake dipped in chocolate sauce and coconut flakes) and fairy bread (sprinkles glued onto bread with butter). The crackers dipped in vegemite received mixed reviews. 🤔 #StudentCenteredFutureFocused
