🌿🌻🌸 North Stokes High School – Horticulture Update! 🌸🌻🌿
Our Horticulture students have been hard at work in the greenhouse this week, preparing for our Spring Plant Sale coming up in April! 🌱
Students have been getting their hands dirty (in the best way possible!) while learning about:
🌿 Different types of soilless media
🪴 Proper container selection
🌱 Seeding and transplanting techniques
☀️ General greenhouse production methods
From tiny seeds to beautiful blooms, our students are growing more than plants — they’re growing valuable skills for the future! 🌼

🔬🐔 Learning in Action at North Stokes High School! 🐔🔬
Students in Animal Science II participated in a hands-on lab today, dissecting chicken wings to better understand the skeletal and muscular systems.
This engaging activity allowed students to:
• Explore how bones and muscles work together
• Identify key anatomical structures
• Apply classroom knowledge in a real-world setting
At North Stokes, we believe meaningful learning happens when students can see and experience concepts firsthand. Great job to our Animal Science students!

❤️ FCS Meeting – Rooted in Love ❤️
Our Fellowship of Christian Students met today, and we were blessed to have Neal Marshall share a powerful message on Romans 8:35–39 and Ephesians 3:16–21.
He reminded our students that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ and encouraged them to be rooted and grounded in love — love that is wide, long, high, and deep. 💙
In a world that can sometimes feel uncertain, today’s message was a beautiful reminder that we are strengthened from within and surrounded by a love that never fails.
Thank you, Neal, for pouring into our students and encouraging them to live boldly and love deeply.
