Elementary school class wins new building blocks


Eight teachers in Buncombe


County, including LaTonya Wal- ter’s kindergarten class at North Buncombe Elementary School, received the exciting news from U.S. Cellular that their classroom projects had been funded through the company’s Calling All Teachers campaign. For a second year, the wireless


carrier partnered with philanthrop- ic website DonorsChoose.org to fund $1 million in creative and im- pactful classroom projects submit- ted by public school teachers. Walter’s kindergarten students


at NBES get to enjoy new building blocks. Te local donation of more than


$4,500 will benefit more than 340 students at Avery’s Creek Elemen-


tary School, A.C. Reynolds High School, A.C. Reynolds Middle School, Buncombe County Early College, Buncombe County Mid- dle College, Clyde A. Erwin High School and NBES. More than 130 teachers through-


out North Carolina had their proj- ects fulfilled by U.S. Cellular’s Calling All Teacher’s Campaign totaling more than $68,000. “It’s always great to see local com-


panies come forward to support our schools,” said Lt. Governor Walter Dalton. “We appreciate their com- mitment and recognize the signifi- cant difference that their donations make in the classroom.” U.S. Cellular’s giving strategy


is focused on education and the pressing needs of schools. Lack of


funding has caused many of them to eliminate critical programs and operate on limited resources. Call- ing All Teachers is one of the initia- tives the phone company developed to offer schools help with these fi- nancial challenges. Teachers across the country post-


ed classroom projects that ranged from the basic to the technically advanced. “Teachers play a big role in the


future of our children,” said Jack Brundige, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in Western North Caro- lina. “We are glad to support them because we know they work hard to make every child’s learning experi- ence meaningful and fun.”

Holiday market to feature dozens of artists


Te fourth annual Holiday Mar-


ket at the Beech Glen Community Center near Mars Hill will feature several dozen juried artists and a wide range of unique crafts and goods for holiday shoppers. One of those artists will be


Asheville artist Pat Harris. In ad- dition to exhibiting her handmade baskets, Harris will be demonstrat- ing the dying art of pine needle basket making. Harris, a Western North Caro-


lina native, was introduced to pine needle basket making more than three years ago by a friend. “She let me make a few stitches


on a basket she was making. When I left her house, she gave me three bundles of pine needles, a thim- ble, needle and some thread. She showed me how to make a [basket] bottom and told me to go home and make myself a basket. Tat is all it took; I haven’t stopped yet,” she said. Over time, Harris has added her


own touch to the baskets. “I make every one like I am going to keep it for myself. I hope that like my friend, at age 94, I can still make a basket because it has become a passion to me.” She will be joining juried artists


from Madison and surrounding counties, showcasing handmade items such as cards and journals, photography, jewelry, fiber, oil painting and woodworking, in- cluding primitive and contempo- rary furniture. Te Beech Glen Community


Center is sponsoring the event. Te center is located a mile off U.S. Highway 19 at the intersec- tion of Old California Creek and Beech Glen roads near Mars Hill. Te market will run from 10 am to 3 pm on Saturday (Dec. 4).
