Our 4th grade literacy event was an incredible celebration of learning! Students proudly showcased outstanding projects, including beautifully crafted models of North Carolina lighthouses paired with informative reports. They also brought history to life in an exciting way by researching Biltmore Estate jobs from the past and present —making meaningful connections to careers that sparked their own interests and curiosity. We are proud of their hard work, creativity, and enthusiasm!
