Educator gets surprise sendoff
FLETCHER, North Carolina (WLOS) A local longtime educator received a surprise sendoff Thursday. Co-workers and friends gathered at Fletcher Park to show their appreciation for Avery’s Creek Elementary School principal Denise Montgomery, who is preparing to retire.
Montgomery has spent 30 years as an educator in Henderson and Buncombe counties. She credits all educators for adapting to the challenges of her last year on the job.
“Probably the most challenging thing has been that connection piece and keeping connected with our children and with the staff and with the families, but our teachers have done an outstanding job,” Montgomery said.
Elementary teacher takes students back in time
ARDEN, NC (WLOS) An Avery’s Creek Elementary School teacher is using virtual science lessons to take her students back in time.
Linda McDonald is teaching her students about a time when dinosaurs walked the earth 230 million years ago. The giant creatures dominated the land for 160 million years.
Scientists first uncovered dinosaur bones in the 1800s a lesson McDonald said captured the students’ imaginations.
“So, even though dinosaurs lived millions and millions of years ago, we just found out about them, like, a 100 years ago,” the fourth-grade teacher said. “Isn’t that amazing?”
