Our final Title I Parent meeting was held on Friday morning, May 3 in the library. The topic was summer reading and there was a guest speaker from the Wake County Public Library who spoke to parents about all the great programs offered at the library in the summer. Parents also saw some "real" data reflecting student reading after not reading over the summer. This data emphasized the importance of having students READ, especially during the summer months. To help students read more, all parents received free books for their children to have at home. The main prize was a Samsung Galaxy tablet that was demonstrated and then given away. The lucky winner was Cable's mom who couldn't believe she had won it for him. Wow! What a great day for them!!! We know he will be reading over the summer. As they say, "You should have been there!"

DIRECTIONS
From the 440 beltline, take 264 East towards Zebulon. Exit Wendell Blvd./Business 64. Turn right on Wendell Blvd./Business 64. Travel 3 miles; school is on the left.
HISTORY
The Town of Wendell started in the 1850's when tobacco farmers in Granville County were hit with what came to be known as the Granville County Wilt. The tobacco crop failed and farmers from Granville County moved into eastern Wake County looking for fertile land to plant their crops.
Ambrose Rhodes donated land for a school to be built. The school would be called the Rhodes School. It was located at the same site as what is now Wendell Creative Arts and Science Magnet Elementary School. In 1891, the name was changed from Rhodes School to Wendell Academy.
