She was acknowledged for the accomplishment by the Board of Education during their meeting on Tuesday night, the same meeting where third grade music and dance students from her school were invited to perform. Dr. Dobson has earned a reputation for supporting arts in education by working with her staff and teachers to integrate arts into core academic classes, as well as lending her talents to a variety of shows at the school. Congratulations Dr. Dobson, and thank you for being a Friend of the Arts! #wsfcs

Clemmons Elementary School third graders had a blast learning about local history during a recent trip to Historic Bethabara Park. Located at the site of the first European settlement in the North Carolina Piedmont, Historic Bethabara offers students insights into trades like blacksmithing, pottery, candle making, and agriculture, as well as the history and culture of the Moravian settlers who founded what would become Winston-Salem. The trip was made possible by the America 250 grant program, which is sponsoring efforts to engage students in unique American history lessons ahead of the United States' semiquincentennial celebration in 2026. #wsfcs
