Abbey Nobles, Southeast Regional Teacher of the Year, visited Jones County Schools last week as part of her Teacher of the Year cohort platform #NCstoriED. Their goal is to step foot in every school district in NC and showcase the great things that are happening in each school district in NC. She spent the entire day visiting district leadership, schools, principals, and classrooms. "Jones Co. is a true community of student-centered instruction and staff collaboration to make learning and student support happen! It was a pleasure to visit all five schools and see how students, staff, and community all come together! It is truly a magical place where innovation and a family feel meet to ensure each student and teacher can be successful." - Abbey Nobles
