FCS met this morning, Wednesday, October 8th! 🙏
Neal Marshall led an inspiring devotional on FAITH, reminding us through verses like Hebrews 11:1 and Luke 1:37 that with God, nothing is impossible. 💚
Students reflected on what it means to trust in God even when we can’t see Him, to stay strong in faith through challenges, and to continuously seek Him in everything we do. 🌿
✨ Next FCS meeting: Tuesday, October 14th — come ready for some fun as we play Bible Jeopardy! 📖🎯
Let’s keep growing together and living out our faith each day! 🌿

Our Vikings brought the energy, pride, and spirit to the gym Friday for our Homecoming Pep Rally! 🎉
From our band kicking things off with the North Stokes Fight Song 🎺, to recognizing our amazing fall sports teams and Homecoming Court 👑—the excitement never stopped! Students faced off in fun games like arm wrestling, balloon tag, and Ships & Vikings (our Viking twist on “Simon Says”) ⚓💪
The crowd went wild cheering on classmates, dancing with staff, and showing what Viking spirit is all about. 🫶
We wrapped it all up with some good-natured fun—Mr. Vernon and Mrs. Clifton taking one for the team in the pie challenge! 🥧😂
It was a perfect celebration to kick off Homecoming weekend—full of teamwork, laughter, and school pride. 💚💛

📐✨ Math in Action! ✨📐
Today in Ms. McKenzie's Math 3 class, her students explored cross sections with a hands-on Play-Doh activity! 🎨👐 They had a blast seeing how 3D shapes can transform when sliced into different cross sections.
To top it off, they took a nature walk to spot 3D shapes in the real world—learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom, it’s all around us! 🌿🔺🌎

A special congratulations goes to our attendance winners, Ryan Smith and Elijah Smith! 🏆🙌
Showing up each day is the first step toward success, and our Vikings are proving that dedication and consistency matter. Every class attended, every lesson learned, and every moment spent together is shaping an incredible school year.
Keep it up, Vikings—you’re leading by example, working hard, and building a tradition of excellence! 💚

Earlier today, our Homecoming Court, football team, and cheerleading squad visited Nancy Reynolds Elementary, Sandy Ridge Elementary, and Piney Grove Middle School to spread Viking pride and encourage the next generation of students. 🌟
It was an amazing opportunity to show our younger Vikings what school spirit, teamwork, and tradition look like! From the classroom to the field, Viking pride runs deep, and today proved that our future is bright.
We can’t wait to see everyone at the Homecoming game tonight—come out and support your Vikings! 💚 #VikingPride #OnceAVikingAlwaysAViking #Homecoming2025
Our principals put students at the heart of everything they do. Whether it’s encouraging students to push through challenges, celebrating student victories, or reminding students they are capable of more than they imagine, Mr. Vernon and Ms. Clifton are always there cheering them on. Their leadership goes far beyond academics—they inspire students to grow as people, to believe in themselves, and to carry Viking pride in everything they do. 💚
Mr. Vernon and Ms. Clifton bring energy, positivity, and a true love for our school each and every day. They show us what it means to lead with kindness, strength, and vision. Because of them, students at North Stokes don’t just come to school to learn—we come to a place where we are supported, motivated, and reminded that our future is bright. 🌟
Thank you for being role models who lead by example, who challenge us to be our very best, and who make North Stokes a place we are proud to call home. Once a Viking, always a Viking! 🏆💚

🙏✨ Students gathered this morning for Meet Me at the Pole. We are grateful to Clinton Federicks from Freedom Baptist Church for sharing an encouraging message with our Vikings. 💚
Students came together to lift up our school, community, and nation—showing the power of faith, unity, and student leadership. 🌎🙌
We are so proud of our young people for taking a stand, supporting one another, and showing that faith can be a guiding light in their lives. 💡

💡💵 Learning has never been this fun! Mr. Wise’s class turned Monopoly into a hands-on lesson in Economics & Personal Finance.
Students weren’t just rolling dice—they were making smart moves, tough choices, and celebrating wins, all while discovering that every play has a financial lesson behind it. 🎲✨
👉 Just look at the pictures! Some students were deep in thought, weighing big investments… others celebrated their smart money moves with big smiles 👍… and everyone left the game with these 5 powerful takeaways:
1️⃣ Always keep cash on hand
2️⃣ Be patient
3️⃣ Focus on cash flow
4️⃣ The most expensive asset is not always the best
5️⃣ Don’t put all your eggs in one basket
From buying property to collecting rent, our Vikings proved that financial literacy can be exciting, competitive, and unforgettable! 🙌

This celebration is a reminder that success doesn’t just happen—it’s earned through perseverance, teamwork, and the shared commitment of our Viking family. 💚💚💚
