A student in Mrs. Clayton’s Biotechnology Health Science III Honors class is completing a class project by hosting a fundraiser for the Ronald McDonald House in Durham February 6 - 16. The Ronald McDonald House Charities provide places for families to call home so they can stay close to their hospitalized child at little to no cost. The organization has a wish list of items they are in need of. Items being collected are:
Disinfectant spray
Liquid or powder HE laundry detergent
Travel-size deodorant - men and women
Toothbrushes - children and adults
Hand and body lotion
These items can be dropped off before and after school and there will be donation boxes available for middle school and high school students upon entering the building.

Today, Roxboro Community School (RCS) high school Principal Darkarai Bryant honored teachers Ashley Bailey and Amanda Carter with certificates for Excellence in Teaching. Bryant said the state of North Carolina recognizes teachers in certain End-of-Grade (EOG) and Advanced Placement (AP) tested subjects. It does not, however, recognize End-of-Course (EOC) tested subjects. RCS wanted to recognize Bailey and Carter for their efforts. Both teachers' students exceeded growth according to EVAAS, (Education Value Added Assessment System) which means the students had more than a year's growth in the subject area. So, said Bryant, "we wanted to recognize Mrs. Bailey for Excellence in Teaching Biology and Mrs. Carter for Excellence in Teaching Math III. Both are to be commended for their dedication to their students."
