💙📚 Teacher Tuesday: Mr. Jason Barbour — Cape Fear Middle School
Mr. Jason Barbour teaches at Cape Fear Middle School and is in his fifth year of teaching. He is known for setting high expectations for his students and finding different ways to help them understand the material and succeed in the classroom.
Mr. Barbour believes every student is capable of learning and works to create an environment where students are encouraged to do their best. He also maintains regular communication with families, keeping them informed and involved in their child's education.
What stands out most about Mr. Barbour is his attention to what's happening in his classroom. He is observant, addresses concerns when they arise, and works to make sure students have a safe and respectful place to learn.
One colleague shared that they've seen Mr. Barbour step in on multiple occasions to address bullying and reinforce expectations for how students treat one another. He takes those situations seriously while continuing to encourage students to make good choices and stay focused on their learning.
💛 Thank you, Mr. Barbour, for the support, accountability, and care you provide to students at Cape Fear Middle School!

Thank you to everyone who helped with CFMS Student Athletic Leadership Team's community service project! 🐻💙
Our student-athletes collected toiletries, first aid supplies, dental care items, and more. These items will be donated to the Good Shepherd Center to support members of our community in need.
We are so proud of these student leaders for showing that being a Grizzly is about more than the game. It’s about lifting up others. Thank you to all the families, staff, and community members who donated and supported this effort!

In 6th grade Engineering, the kids are working hard on building their toothpick bridges! They are looking forward to testing them to see whose is the strongest.
In 7th grade Engineering, it is finally testing day for their balsa wood bridges! So far we have one that held 61 lbs. and another that held 59 lbs!
Last but certainly not least, we have 8th grade Robotics! They started building their first custom robots. They are working in teams and moving fast because they are excited to be able to drive them!
