The 5th grade classes had loads of fun over the past 2 days at Patience Park Campground. Students learned about animals and plant life whose habitat is the Toe River. A big Thank You to Mrs. Tressa Hartsell, her students and the volunteers for making this awesome educational opportunity available for our students.
Yancey County Sheriff Shane Hilliard has shared the following update.
"After further investigation, we've confirmed that this post originated over three weeks ago in another state and was shared locally purely for information.
At this time, there is still no credible threat to our schools. We appreciate the community's vigilance and encourage everyone to continue reporting concerns directly to law enforcement rather than sharing unverified information.
Your safety remains our top priority and we will keep you informed with any new updates."
YCS appreciates Sheriff Shane Hilliard and his team for their quick response.
Good morning YCS parents,
We received notification that a social media threat has been made at Mountain Heritage High School. We take all threats seriously and we're investigating the incident.
At this time, Sheriff Shane Hilliard believes the threat was a notification that was sent to high schools around the region and this threat to MHHS is not credible.
We will keep you posted today on the investigation.
Thank you.
Blue Ridge Elementary Groundbreaking for the new addition was a great success! Thank you to NC Senator Ralph Hise, County Manager Lynn Austin, Commissioner Mark Ledford, Harper General Contractors, MPS Architects, Branch Civil and our wonderful BRES faculty, staff and YCS Board of Ed members for a great ceremony.
Special thanks to BRES 5th graders for doing a great job reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and participating in the groundbreaking.
