Military Family Life Counselor Update...
This message is to let you know that our MFLC, Mr. Howard was offered the opportunity to work with adults on base, and he decided that this would be best for him right now. This was a sudden change for our staff and students, especially since they did not have a chance to say goodbye. If your child is upset and feels the need to talk to Ms. Howson (our counselor) please email her at rhowson@ncmcs.org.
We will also organize an opportunity for students that met with Mr. Howard to write him a letter of thanks and/or goodbye. This may help with the closure piece.
The district is currently interviewing for a new MFLC that is shared between Vass-Lakeview and Southern Pines Elementary. We will keep you updated.

New comment/suggestion.....We will look into this!
I suggest air purifiers for the classrooms. With the level of Covid, flu, and GI bugs going around, it would not be a bad idea to put these in to help decrease the number of sicknesses so we can keep our kids in school. Also, maybe an environmental inspection on the school to ensure no mold, mildew, things that cause children’s immune systems to not be at the best functioning level.
