The RRGSD family is mourning the death of one of our former board members today. Dr. Fred Eugene Wier served 12 years on the Roanoke Rapids Graded School District Board of Trustees starting in 1997 through 2009. Dr. Wier, being an avid learner himself, exhibited extraordinary passion during his public service to the school district and was forthright regarding his stand on issues while always looking out for the best interest of the students, staff, parents, and our community. His funeral will be held on January 30 at 2:00 p.m. at the Fletcher Seventh Day Adventist located at 1141 Howard Gap Road in Hendersonville, NC. His family requests memorial donations be made to Vidant North Development Council in memory of Dr. Fred Wier, Department of Surgery. Plans are underway to celebrate the life of Dr. Wier at a later date in Roanoke Rapids.  #RRGSDCommunity

A fun day of learning today at Belmont. What better way to remember the relationship with Q and U than a Q & U wedding? Both letters promised to work together in words as QU to make words. Pretty much letters Q and U will always be together in words that start with a Q. After the wedding, we had a ceremony with cake and the "letters" received gifts that started with QU ( a quilt, quarters, and a pic of a queen). #TogetherWeSucceed #Letterland #BelmontBees
