A RJR Home Field Advantage Facebook Post with an image of the Paisley/Lowrance school construction that reads: This is what happens when you don't have home practice fields! The fields previously used by our RJR Boys' and Girls' lacrosse teams are now massive construction zones for new Paisley Middle School. RJR coaches, parents and athletic staff scrambled to find new fields but they are further away, in poor conditions and with time limits. This is NOT RIGHT! Voice your concern at Board of Education meeting on Tuesday, Feb 13, 6:30 p.m. at Kernersville Elementary.

To get the Wiley gym onto the bond (and out of their way), stadium boosters convinced WS/FCS to take on the gym construction as a rebranded STEAM classroom addition. Per seat, it’s three times the price of the average school expansion.
