The Spirit of Giving at Winston-Salem Prep

This comes to us from Aretha Jones-Moultrie, who works with Secondary Transitions Support for the school system:

“I am pleased to share that a group of students from Winston-Salem Preparatory Academy had an amazing Prom experience. This is because of the diligent work by Ms. Denise Cloud and Ms. Amanda Simmons.”

Simmons is a job coach with the school system’s Transition Department. She and Cloud participate in the We Care Project.

Working with people in the community, they made sure that a number of students at Winston-Salem Prep - all of them honor students – had prom tickets, a gown or tuxedo and shoes, a haircut or hair style and make-up, dinner at Arigato's, and photos.

Ms. Lavonda Floyd, an administrative assistant at WSPA) and Jones-Moultrie helped to coordinate the event.

Art Show at Winston-Salem Prep

This comes to us from Kim Watkins, the Visual Arts teacher at Winston-Salem Preparatory Academy:

Winston-Salem Preparatory Academy held first annual Student Art Show.

The artwork of both Middle and High School students was featured on Tuesday, May 21st from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Media Center. Student art from the entire school year was put on display for staff, students, and community to see.

This is my first year at Winston-Salem Preparatory Academy but I have been teaching art for 10 years and I have always held a student art show at each school. It is important that we showcase the work students are doing and give them incentives and high expectations for achievement. 

The students at Winston-Salem Preparatory Academy are very talented and need to have opportunities for recognition of their hard work, dedication, and contributions to the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools district.
