The Lincoln County News was here on September 2nd to welcome our students back to school. Welcome back everyone!

Thank you Lincoln County for being at Edgecomb Eddy School to welcome our students and families back to school.

The Edgecomb Eddy School cafeteria was filled with firefighters, nurses, tradesmen, hairdressers, scientists and even a beekeeper – at least aspiring ones. The school held a career day featuring a panel of professionals who spoke about their jobs and how they got there. The event was part of the school’s career education programming, organized by guidance counselor Gary Upham. He said the students had been learning for weeks about different jobs and what it takes to meet career goals, which is part of state curriculum standards starting in preschool. “As kids, I want them to be kids with knowledge. I want them to be kids with opportunities to think of possibility,” Upham said. “I want those kids who think they can't, that they can. So that's ultimately what I want the parents to hear. Let these kids be kids but let them have fun doing what we're trying to do.”
