The race for the North Carolina State Superintendent is making national news. Recently, candidates Mo Green and Michele Morrow tackled their first debate. Both candidates hope to lead North Carolina's Department of Public Instruction after November 5. Being informed about the local NC State Superintendent race is crucial to election-day decisions because this office influences critical decisions, including teacher pay, curriculum standards, school funding, and state-wide educational policies. The next debate on Spectrum News 1 will occur next Tuesday, September 24, at 7:00 pm EST. We'll be watching, will you?

We can’t thank our #9schooltools partners enough!
As an organization, we value contributing to the greater good in our community. Concorde Construction Company along with New Forum, partnered with Classroom Central this past month under the T3 Initiative. We collected the 9 most needed school supply items as determined by Classroom Central as well as direct financial donations. The supplies and funds we collected will help support students with the tools they need to thrive and feel confident this school year. Together, we made a difference – WAY. BETTER. Concorde alone, had a total of 2,250 physical supplies donated! This ranged from scissors, binders, pencils, pens, notebook paper, notebooks, crayons, markers, colored pencils, erasers, and more! Also, between Concorde, New Forum, and Trade Partners / Subcontractors we raised a total of $8,744.73 which surpassed our goal of $3,000! Thank you to all who contributed and a big shout out to Amanda Gardner, Jessica McCready, Brooke Lederer, and Blaine Jackson for all of their hard work putting this together. #concorde #concordeconstruction #waybetter #corevalues #contributetothegreatergood #t3initiative #newforum #schooldrive #classroomcentral #classroomcentralschooldrive #9schooltools

Did you know that students living in poverty have, on average, one or fewer books at home to help them practice literacy fluency? 📚 This essential skill is pivotal in their future academic success because, after 3rd grade, students read to learn. Classroom Central's Free Store Bookshelf is packed for every teacher shopping appointment. Teachers can select 10 free books per month, equaling 100 free books every school year for their students to help bridge this gap. Have extra books around the house? We accept gently used books as donations for students! Donate your extra books to us, and we can empower young readers to unlock brighter futures. 💛 #ReadABookDay #ClassroomCentral
