Awesome job, Taylor! Keep up the good work! 👏👏👏

Peyton Poteat, who attends NF Woods, was recognized as the MGSD Artist of the Month by the Board of Education at the November meeting. Peyton was nominated by NF Woods teacher, Ms. Laura Stone. Ms. Stone said the following about Peyton in her nomination:

"Peyton is a talented and dedicated 8th grade student in the middle school program at NF Woods. He has a true passion for art, and his enthusiasm shines through in every project he takes on. Whether it's a class assignment or a personal creation, Peyton consistently adds his unique flair and thoughtful details, making each piece truly his own. His attention to detail and his love for the creative process are evident in the high-quality work he produces. It’s clear that Peyton has a natural artistic ability, and I have no doubt he will continue to grow and develop as an artist. I can easily envision a future where his artwork is celebrated by many. Congratulations, Peyton—keep up the amazing work!"

Never stop creating, Peyton!

The spotlight this month shines on the Mooresville High School JV Volleyball Team! This group of athletes has played together for up to four years. When looking back to when they first began, this season's success can be attributed to trusting the process. It’s amazing to look back at where they all started and see how far they have all come. The more they play together, the more they succeed together. The team has learned to play with confidence and control every step of the way. Not only ball control but emotional control. They were given the tools needed to achieve success but most importantly they trusted each other to reach their common goals. Volleyball is an all around team sport. We speak about never focusing on what our opponents might bring. We know that if we played how well we were capable of playing; it wouldn’t matter. Our consistent serve, receive, and passing game was a huge factor in this season's success. Everyone often remembers the big kills out of the front row (which we had many of) but without our defensive control, that attack wouldn’t have been possible! One of our biggest challenges was facing rival Lake Norman, who always has a strong team. That match could have gone either way, but with a little luck on our side and capitalizing on a few errors, we proved victorious. The future is definitely bright for Mooresville Volleyball!
