Students in our Agriscience are learning about the "original snap chat".
The Columbus County Fire Marshal’s Office, in conjunction with the Office of the State Fire Marshal, is proud to announce that we have received 1,000 smoke detectors donated by Kidde, one of the nation’s leading fire safety product manufacturers. These detectors will be distributed throughout the county in recognition of Fire Safety Month.
Each fire department within Columbus County has been supplied with an allotment of these smoke detectors for installation in homes across their respective districts.
We encourage all families throughout the county to take advantage of this free smoke detector check and installation program. This initiative ensures that every home has properly functioning and up-to-date smoke detectors. If any detectors are found to be outdated, missing, or not working, new ones will be installed free of charge.

Good Evening Mustangs,
This is Shelly Cullipher, Principal of Nakina Middle School. We would like to share a few reminders and events for the upcoming week.
Thank you to Ms. Lisa Blackman and Ms. Clara Beck for volunteering to help with Picture Day last week. Our community volunteers are an integral part of our school’s success. Please contact Mrs. Hooks at (910) 642-8301 if you would like to become a board approved school volunteer.
This week….

On Tuesday, September 30th, our Mustangs are scheduled to play the Aggies at Nakina with the 8th grade recognition scheduled for 3:45 p.m. Due to the projected weather, this game will probably be rescheduled but we will let you know.
Thursday, October 2nd, is School Custodian Appreciation Day. Please join us in showing Mr. Baldwin how much he is appreciated. Also on Thursday, we will induct new members into the Elementary and Jr. Beta Club at 6:00 p.m. in the gym. Inductees and members should have received a letter with information regarding the event. Please contact Mrs. Nobles or Ms. Nelson if you have any questions.
