Aware May Final July 22 - Public Schools of Robeson County

Students at RB Dean Elementary School are
working and celebrating in a variety of ways
to achieve the Common Core Challenge.
R.B. DEAN
School Improvement Team met to finalize
the big day, Spring Fling! It is an amazing day
in which our parents and community
support us in huge numbers. It is a fun day of
dancing, eating and crowning our very own,
Mr. and Mrs. RB Dean, Kind and Queen. We
are always excited to have our Mayor and
Board of Education representative, along
with many other dignitaries. We elected our
2013-2014 Teacher Assistant of the Year,
Mrs. Sandra McRae. She is a very unique lady
who devotes all her time working with
students in the classroom with Mr. Rosellini,
first grade teacher. Mr. George Marston,
fourth grade teacher, was elected to serve as
our Teacher of the Year! We are very proud
of both persons who contribute to the
education of our young people. It’s a big
thank you to our parents and PTO faculty
and staff, along with the City Of Maxton and
our Police Department for mounting and
hanging our new flag pole. We are proud of
“Ole Glory” and the men and women it
represents each day.
March ended like a lion at RB Dean! We
went out with a roar! Our fourth graders
went to Raleigh and enjoyed a great day at
the IMAX Theatre watching Under The Sea.
We were able to visit the NC State Public
Library, the Museum of North Carolina
History, we saw the Legislative Building along
with the Governor’s Mansion and the State
Capital Building. Students concluded an
amazing day with dinner at Sandpipers in
Fayetteville and what an appetite. Thanks to
Baker’s Bus Tour for your fine driving.
We ended March with a lot of noise in the
Gym, as we celebrated our PBIS students
who earned $30 in Trojan Bucks to play
Basketball competing with the third and
fourth graders, along with some brave
teachers and assistants! We had a “Ball”! It
was just Madness, I say, Just Madness! Trojan
Pride is contagious.
Congratulations to Ms. McClary’s third grade
class for being chosen March PBIS Class of
the Month Mr. Rosellini’s first grade for being
selected April PBIS Class of the Month.
These classes sure did enjoy some really
good ice cream! Thank you Ms. Wade,

cafeteria. Congratulations to Mrs. Wilson’s
Pre-K, Mrs Jackson’s Kindergarten, Ms.
Cumming’s first grade, Mrs. Epps second
grade, Ms. McClary’s third grade and Mr.
Marston’s fourth grade.
We also want to Recognize Mr. Rosellini’s

Trojan Pride. They cheer every morning
during the announcements to begin a day full
of Pride, bring Positioned, Responsible,
Independent, Determined and Empowered.

This spring our
SkillsUSA Chapter
attended the NC
SkillsUSA Conference
in Greensboro, NC. Eight of our students participated
in competitive events. Every student represented the
Career Center in a very admirable way. James McColl
and Alejandro Cortez competed in the Welding contest
at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. Both of these
young men had to qualify in a preliminary event to be
eligible in the State Contest. Morris Currie represented
the Carpentry Class very well in the Carpentry Contest.
Bon Dubois competed in the Masonry Contest and
perfomed very well. Rufo Garcia, from Network
Engineering, placed fourth in a very challenging
Internetworking Contest. Kyle and Cameron Woods,
the Electrical Guys, competed in the Residential Wiring
Contest with Cameron finishing fourth out of 45
contestants. Juan Delacruz presented our Chapter
Display Project and was presented the First Place Medal.
Mr. Lewis, the Advisor, has been busy making plans for
Juan Delacruz and himself to attend The National
SkillsUSA and Leadership Conference in Kansas City
Missouri at the end of June. At the end of Thursday's
competition, Mr. Lewis took five of the young men with
him to Roanoke Rapids, NC for the first ever NC
Methodist Men's Association, along with SkillsUSA, joint
venture to construct a home for a retired Korean War
Veteran that lost his home last year to Hurricane Isaac.
When we departed about 2:00 pm on Saturday, the
home was "dryed-in". Juan Delacruz, Morris Currie,
James McColl, Alejandro Cortez, and Rufo Garcia are to
be commended for their
unselfish time and effort to
help someone that really
needed a "hand up".
Congratulations to all of
these fine young men and
wish Juan success when he
