Union highlights
The In-School Suspension Pro
gram located at Perquimans
Union School in Winfali, under
the direction of Luther Overton,
is experiencing it's second year
of operation within the county.
This year the program has
been able to operate much
smoother than it did in the pre
vious year, probably, because of
many contributing factors. First,
because the In-School Suspension
Program had its beginning in the
county last year, many of the stu
dents were aware of the conse
quences of being sent to In
School Suspension. Secondly, the
program underwent a 'real'
learning experience during the
first year, therefore, this year
many of the rough spots have
been ironed out. Finally, and of
utmost importance is the overall
support from the total staff at
Perquimans Union School, which
has really helped the program
during it's operations.
There are still areas that have
to be remedied, but with contin
ual help from the staff members,
concerned parents, and friends
in the county, the In-School Sus
pension Program will continue
its operation.
The major aim of the In-School
Suspension program is to keep
the students in school in a learn
ing environment. Thus far, that
has been done with much suc
cess.
FFA happenings
It will also be the site of the Fed
eration's FFA Hunter Safety
Contest held in April. Apprecia
tion is given to the School Admin
istration for providing this land
to build the range.
Interesting things are happen
ing in the FFA and Agriculture
classes at Perquimans County
High School. In October the Agri
culture classes visited the North
Carolina State Fair with over 82
members taking part in the field
trip. This trip was very educatio
nal. Many students saw for the
first time different breeds of live
stock and experienced the thrill
of the agriculture atmosphere of
the fair. A special thank you goes
to Mr. Ed Nixon who helped
c ha pa rone the group.
In November six FFA mem
bers took part in the FFA Soil
Judging Contest competing
against 16 teams from District I.
Team members included Penny
Casper, Bill Smith, Michelle
Lane, Tina Wolfgang, Matt Wil
liams, and Edison Felton.
The Agriculture classes are
very busy working on their
yearly projects. Ag I is building
picnic tables, Ag II, barbecue
cookers and Ag III, a 5' x 16' util
ity trailer. These projects allow
the students to apply what they
learn in class. The completed
projects will be offered for sale to
the public in late February and
early March.
Another major project being
done is the building of a Hunter
Safety Range. This range will be
used to teach safe firearm hand
ling during the Hunter Safety
course.
