Only Way to Fly

Local hang glider enthusiast Casey Cox gives students an up close look at one of his gliders during a recent visit to Chocowinity Primary School. Cox, who has been hang gliding for approximately 20 years, helped the students understand the concept of flight as experienced by the Wright brothers, the nation's first hang gliders. Cox's wife, Paula Taylor Cox, is a teacher at CPS.

Unique Gift

Miasia McCall, a third grade student at Chocowinity Primary School and a member of the CPS choir, admires a unique jigsaw puzzle, one of which was presented to each member of the choir. The puzzles, which feature a photograph of the school, were handcrafted by Bob Jenks of Chocowinity. Jenks made the puzzles as a "thank you" to the students for their recent performance in the Cypress Landing community.

Well Read Students
