ACS School Nutrition Employee of the Year!

Please join us in sending a big, heartfelt congratulations to Ms. Kelly Angel, who has been named the ACS School Nutrition Employee of the Year! This is such an incredible honor and one that is so well-deserved. Kelly’s unwavering dedication, genuine care for our students, and the pride she takes in her work make a true difference every single day. She helps create a school environment where students feel supported, seen, and cared for—and that is something to celebrate. We are so proud of Kelly and grateful to have her as part of our Hive family. Let’s all take a moment to congratulate her and celebrate this well-earned recognition!

 

 

Sound School 2025

Ears Just Wanna Hear Sound 2025!Every year the 2nd graders in Asheville City Schools take part in the Moog Foundation’s Sound School, which is all about the science of sound. Our very own Brooks Butler helped write the curriculum back in 2012 for said program. At the end of the unit, the students learn a song and perform it at the Orange Peel with the other schools.  Claxton's Mr. Bickhart has been working on these songs for the past 4 years now; the first 2 were music videos made during the COVID era instead of performances.

The 2nd Graders were fantastic. The teachers and staff were so proud of their singing, dancing, and behavior in public. They were truly Claxton Ambassadors. Check out the video at your leisure.
