We won the lottery! Our friends at Harris Teeter have donated $2,500 to support McAlpine! 

The North Carolina Lottery provides incentive payments to retailers who sell winning tickets in various lottery games and the Ballantyne Commons Harris Teeter recently sold a winning ticket, resulting in a $2,500 incentive award. Rather than keeping these profits, Harris Teeter has chosen to donate its incentive award back to local schools.

This money will be used to purchase materials that will benefit the whole school including an inflatable screen and projector, power cords and surge protectors to charge devices, math manipulatives, books, and more.

To show our appreciation to Harris Teeter, we are asking you to link your Harris Teeter VIC card to McAlpine by using TIE code 1118. You can link your VIC card through the Harris Teeter app, by visiting the website or by asking an associate at the customer service desk the next time you’re in store.

Media Center books will not be collected in the classroom or brought to the Media Center this year by students as part of our safety procedures.   Students are asked to bring their books back to school before their next Media class and place them in return bins in the hallways in the morning.  These book bins are then placed in a quarantine area for one week.  Please share this change with your child. Thank you!!
