A special thank you to Ms. Myra Blackmon as well as the ladies in the Cornelia Johnson Circle for their generous monetary contributions, to Farmers Home Furniture for their donation of a mattress and box spring, and to the Church of the Mediator for their thoughtful donation of Ingles gift cards for families in need during Thanksgiving.

All monetary donations can be made out to Wilkes County Schools, attention Care Room, and mailed to the Wilkes County Board of Education, 313-A North Alexander Ave, Washington, GA 30673.

Fall Break
We understand that many families across Wilkes County are still recovering from the effects of the recent storm, and we are committed to supporting you through this difficult time. Our priority is to help restore a sense of normalcy for our students and families.
With that in mind, Wilkes County Schools will reopen tomorrow, Thursday, October 3rd.
For families facing continued power outages due to the storm, please be assured that any absences will be excused. Your family’s safety and well-being come first. Teachers will work closely with students to ensure they can make up any missed work.
We look forward to seeing all of our students tomorrow.
