We had a wonderful surprise from our Blacksburg High School students today! They painted Christmas nutcrackers on our department windows. Check out more of their work on storefronts as you go through town.

We are beyond proud of our very own Josh Batchler, the new Wildcat Varsity Football Head Coach! Coach Batchler brings new energy and will forge new paw prints of passion in our football program. He is a leader on and off the field. Congratulations, Coach B! We know you will live up to your signature hashtag: #BeGreatToday

I am very thankful for our BHS RADA students stepping up to do big things. Like I told the students today, these RADA students make my job easy and they are heroes! Many of them were very nervous to speak to their peers today but they faced fear and did a wonderful job! I'm so proud of them all!

Our guest servers continue to make National School Lunch Week special at BHS. BHS alum Terrell Allen works as a Cherokee County Sheriff”s Department deputy. This morning he served breakfast to our students before posing with students and our tie-dyed lunch bunch. Mrs. Donna Smith, our retired cafeteria manager, got right back into action in the kitchen for lunch as our guest server. Students enjoyed the smoothies offered today as a special celebration.

As part of our National School Lunch Week celebration, we are hosting some guest workers. CCSD School Board member Mr. Peter Wilkins help serve breakfast this morning. We enjoyed having him with us.

Our celebration of National School Lunch Week continues with our guest servers. Rev. Donnell White of Hopewell Presbyterian Church in Blacksburg served at lunch Monday. He found some friends who had his style! This morning, one of our assistant principals, Mr. Will Coggins, served breakfast like a pro. For lunch today, Rev. Chelsey Sims of Trinity AME Zion Church of Blacksburg joined Mrs. Mary Charles on the line, with smiles all around!
