Friendship families, we wanted to take a moment to talk about an important issue affecting our community right now. As you know, some families from Western North Carolina have been displaced and are temporarily staying with families in our area. With the school year in full swing, we wanted to share how these children can continue their education while away from home. The process these families need to go through to enroll in our local public schools is fairly straightforward. Families simply need to meet with the school’s data manager -- at Apex Friendship that is Angie Middleton (amiddleton@wcpss.net or 919-694-8454). Children can be enrolled without the usual documentation, like birth certificates. These students would be overflowed to Baucom Elementary, but they will qualify for transportation, which is a huge relief. Help us spread that word so our community is aware of what’s in place to support families in their recovery efforts. If you would like to donate to help WNC families, we recommend organizations such as the American Red Cross. Please let us know if you have any thoughts or ideas for how we can come together during this challenging time. Thanks for being the amazing, caring community that you are! Let’s continue to support each other.
