CFNC's College Application Week will be October 21-27. Many colleges and universities in North Carolina let high school seniors apply for FREE if they use the College Foundation of North Carolina (CFNC) website. This helps students save money and get support during the college application process.

Here's a positive story from Coleridge Elementary!
Coleridge Elementary had its first "Free Book Friday" today and it was a HUGE success!! At Coleridge, they believe every child should have the gift of literacy. Having books available for students to take home each Friday is just one way we develop and support their love of reading! 📚 💙🚀
