Nathan's nominator said: "Nathan is such a dependable and helpful Safety Patrol at NCE every afternoon! He is always ready to jump in, quickly opening doors and helping students get to their cars safely and responsibly. Nathan not only opens car doors and assists students at his 2-3 stations, but he also covers my 2 stations, allowing me to safely focus on calling flights of students to the carpool line over the walkie. Nathan's consistency, responsibility, and willingness to help make our carpool run so much more smoothly, this is the most efficient carpool dismissal has been at NCE in years, and a part of that is thanks to Nathan! He does this every day with a smile. He is a positive and responsible leader. Thank you for being someone we can count on every day! #OneChatham #ForwardTogether

Last week, poet and teaching artist Phillip Shabazz reminded our Margaret B. Pollard Middle students of exactly that. Through poetry, students reflected on their experiences and their dreams, and discovered that their voices matter. Thank you, Mr. Shabazz, and the Chatham Arts Council for helping our students see themselves as fledgling writers. #OneChatham #ForwardTogether

Happy Unity Day from the Chatham County Schools Central Services team!
Why orange? Unity Day, as part of National Bullying Prevention Month, chooses orange as a color representing safety and visibility. Our work at Central Services may happen behind the scenes, but our purpose is the same as every classroom’s: supporting our school communities where all children are seen and heard.
#OneChatham #ForwardTogether
🧡 Orange is the color. KINDNESS is the message! 🧡
Today, Chatham County Schools is turning ORANGE for Unity Day, joining schools across the nation to take a stand against bullying and celebrate kindness, acceptance, and inclusion!
Across our district, we're coming together to send one powerful message: Every student deserves to feel safe, supported, respected, and valued.
ONE Chatham. United in kindness. 🧡
