Ashville Elementary bids a sad goodbye but happy wishes to two retiring teachers. Ms.Bennett has served thirty-two years: Ms. McMurray twenty-five. They are much loved and will be sorely missed, but they have earned their rest and recreation after decades in one of the most difficult and important jobs in the world.

The Ashville School system also says goodbye to Trinity Buse and Logan Seawright. Buse has signed to dance at Montebello. Seawright signed to play in the band at Jacksonville. People who know them say they were an asset and a credit to the school with their daily mentoring of other students.

Like Ms. Murray and Ms. Ms. Bennett, they will be missed. Like the teachers, they have earned what lies ahead. Buse and Seawright are clearly kids with discipline, character and kindness.

Such exciting things ahead for all of you.

More congratulations to the Ashville High School Boys and Girls Soccer team members who were chosen for All County: Walker Griffith, Greyson Simpson, Clayton Knight, Joe Stevens, Emma Drinkard, Taylor Knight, Meghan McCarthy, KathleenMcCarthy, and Kayla Simpson.  That is a plentiful pack of powerful Dawgs!
