THE CORE VALUE OF THE MONTH FOR NOVEMBER IS SERVICE
Al Wood is a native of Gray, Georgia, and a 1981 graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Growing up, he quickly became successful in basketball, where he earned All-American status in high school and college. Al went on to set scoring records in the ACC and NCAA, was a member of the 1980 U.S. Men’s Olympic Basketball team, and became the fourth player picked in the first round of the 1981 NBA draft
After the NBA, Al played professional basketball overseas but eventually moved back to the States and traveled around the country as a motivational speaker, trainer and team builder, evangelist, platform guest, sports radio and TV spokesperson, prison minister, and private consultant.

Middle School CIS Students Visit The Institute for Advanced Learning
The CIS science class took a field trip to the Institute for Advanced Learning in Danville. This is a wonderful facility that directly participates in research in addition to hosting classes for colleges such as Averett and Virginia Tech. Cadets took a tour of their facilities and spent time with their Head of Research and their researchers. They spoke to some of the basic chemistry concepts that the students have been learning and tied them into real-world applications.
One of their facilities was focused on Hydroponics. They have managed many factors (light, temperature, nutrients) and this has led to shorter growing times for vegetables as well as longer shelf life. After the tour, cadets made Ooblek which does not act like traditional states of matter (called a NonNewtonian Fluid). They also made butter and got to enjoy the rewards of their hard work. Most found they enjoyed salted butter more than unsalted!

Underclass & Senior Photos
For underclass photos, if families did not pre-order using the flyer or online, they should have received a packet from their cadet during the open weekend. From that proof, there are two specific codes for each student. They go to mylifetouch.com and enter the two unique codes and then they will see their photo.
For seniors, ordering and next step information will be mailed directly home to parents/seniors along with proofs of pictures. They have a different website to go to prestigeportraits.com to claim their proofs using a unique code. Once they’ve successfully done that, they can then place an order online at any time or by calling the 800 number that comes in the literature.
If you have questions, please contact [email protected]
