J for the past several yean we

ard a bigger and better P. T. A.

achievements.
"Don't be a drop-out parent"
was hia admonition. He atreased
the importance of attending all
the meetings and feeling our own
individual responsibility toward
the success of our organisation.
He gave us some valuable pointers
on how to make each member feel

that our school is now on the ac
credited list of North Carolina
schools. This means that our
school has reached a certain stand
ard of requirements in its equip
ment, teacher-training and certifi
cation of its teachers. There is
one other school in the county that
has achieved this goal, the Green
Valley School. Mr. Greene compli
mented the parents and teachers
for their part In helping the
school to gain this distinction.
The P. T. A. has cooperated whole
heartedly with the school authori
ties to secure equipment and sup
plies needed to carry on the
school work. In view of our ac
complishments on the part of the
parents and teachers of our school
community, we' feel especially
proud of the Valle Crucis School
