They were honored at a banquet on January 21, 2010 at CATA. They were among 38 teachers in the county to receive this distinguished certification.
Food Drive was a HUGE success!
Waxhaw Elementary’s Food Drive was a huge success. Under Mrs. Polk’s leadership, the students at Waxhaw Elementary collected a total of 2,742 items during the month of November. 
Mrs. Polk, the Spanish teacher, uses the food drive as a way to teach her students about being culturally sensitive and how it feels to help others less fortunate. One of her responsibilities as the Spanish teacher is to teach culture and language. Through the food drive she is able to put words into action.
Teacher and Teacher Assistant of the Year
Congratulations to our music teacher, Mr. Ryder and Mrs. Kutsy, teacher assistant. They have been selected by the faculty as Waxhaw Elementary's Teacher of the Year and Teacher Assistant of the Year for 2010-2011.

Third-grade students at Waxhaw Elementary School are “going batty” after completing research and writing papers about bats.
During the research, students in Roxanne Newman’s class learned about a disease plaguing bats in North Carolina called White –Nose Syndrome (WNS).
Message from the Superintendent: 2009-2010 Cluster Forums
In an effort to reach out to school/community stakeholders and engage in some proactive dialogue, I will be conducting a series of Cluster Forums during the 2009-2010 school year. These forums will be held at each cluster's high school media center on the last Thursday of the month (except in November and December due to holidays). See Forum Schedule for dates and additional information.

Waxhaw Library
The Waxhaw Branch of the Union County Public Library has many events planned which benefit our students. Check out the many upcoming events.
While you're at the library, explore all of the great books. Choose books for your child to read independently and books to read together. Continue to read aloud with your children. Reading aloud to children helps them to become successful readers who love books. It stimulates their imagination, improves literacy skills, increases their vocabulary, develops a positive attitude towards books, and enhances listening skills.
