We were honored today when a representative of Congressman Don Davis's office presented our school with a congressional record of the congressman's speech. The record was accepted by our superintendent Cheryl Iannucci. Mr. Davis spoke to the U.S. House of Representatives about education and Eastern North Carolina School for the Deaf.
"...education must ensure that every child has a chance to live the American dream."

Happy holidays!
The dietary staff made a wonderful 🦃Thanksgiving lunch for the staff and students today (since next week the students will not be here). They always do a great job! Have a happy holiday next week everybody!
ENCSD is having our first "home" game tomorrow at 5:00pm, at Sallie B. Howard School. There will be no admission charge, but we will have a 50/50 raffle as well as a small concession stand.
After the games were finished the students traded their game tickets in for prizes🏆. Our dietary staff put together a wonderful spread for lunch. Thank you to the dietary staff who always provide delicious and nutritious fixings!🍲
The students and staff had quite a day playing games and having fun during our 🍁Fall Fest🍁, today. We have many photos to share with you!

Thank you to all the staff and families who made our Trunk-or-Treat and Boo Bash fun for our students and a spectacular success! 🎃Happy Halloween to everyone!👻
Finally, the students were treated to lunch in the Hornet's Nest. Our wonderful dietary staff prepared a delicious meal for them. Thank you Dietary staff, you always make wonderful meals! 🍲
The last game was Mystery Boxes. The students, with great courage, blindly thrust their hands into mystery boxes to feel the mystery inside. Then they had to decide what each box held and write their guesses down to win prizes.📥🎃
Next the students gathered into circles to play Wrap Trap! A game where they unwrapped cellophane balls to find prizes.🎃
After the Trunk-or-Treating the kids moved indoors to the Hornets Nest and played Mummy Wrap (boys vs girls).🎃 The students wrapped up our principal Mr. Kent, and our Superintendent Mrs. Iannucci, and mummified them! The girls won!
The Trunk-or-Treat was so much 👻 spooky fun, that we'll need two posts to share all of it!🍬
We have several photos from today's Boo Bash and Trunk-or-Treat events! 🎃
First up, is the pre-game, Trunk-or-Treat trunks as they were being set up this morning.
