Several weeks ago, Spectrum News had a
nice story about the Webb Street School
playground dedication. The school held a
grand opening ceremony on November 7 for
the accessible playground, which is designed
especially for children with special needs. The
playground is a great addition to the school,
and the students love it.

It’s tradition that a student from McAdenville
Elementary gets the opportunity to “flip the switch”
to turn on the lights in Christmas Town USA. This
year, second grader Tyler Singleton was chosen
for the honor. To be the person who turns on the
McAdenville lights is pretty special, and Tyler did
a great job of making the community glow for the
holiday season!

As you know, we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of
Gaston County Schools. As part of our year-long celebration, we have put
together an exhibit at the Gaston County Museum in Dallas that highlights
athletics in Gaston County Schools. The exhibit is titled “Gaston County
Schools: Our Sports History and More,” and it runs through March 9.
The exhibit features pictures, trophies, jerseys, and other memorabilia
that bring attention to some of our
outstanding teams and student-
athletes. By no means is the exhibit
a comprehensive history (we’d need
10 times the space to celebrate every
championship team and athlete), but
rather it is a tribute to how awesome
our high school and junior high/
middle school players, coaches, and
teams have been over the past 50
years.
