POST OF THE WEEK: The First Week of School πŸ“šβœ¨πŸ˜Š
 
What a phenomenal first week back at school!

Our schools have been filled with energy, excitement and plenty of smiling faces as students and staff kicked off the new school year. We’re grateful for the wonderful start and all the hard work that helped make this first week a success.

Take a look at some of the smiling faces from around the district!

🌱🌢️  FROM THE GARDEN TO THE CAFETERIA
 
Students at Community High School are growing more than plants in Mr. Foote’s horticulture program. They’re gaining hands-on experience and seeing the fruits (and jalapeños!) of their hard work make their way into school meals. 🌱➑️🍽️

Fresh, student-grown jalapeños just in time for Nacho Day? We’ll take it! πŸ™ŒπŸŒΆοΈ

We love seeing learning come full circle in Buncombe County Schools — from the garden to the cafeteria and onto students’ plates. πŸ’š
