Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Meeting encourages Nancy Reynolds' supporters

County and school officials seem open to restoring building

DANBURY (By Kim Underwood, Winston-Salem Journal) - Those hoping that Nancy Reynolds Elementary School will be restored rather than replaced with a modern elementary school came away heartened from a joint meeting of the Stokes County school board and commissioners [Friday].

"I think this is going to be a win-win for the community, the board of education, and the commissioners," said Jan Cox, a member of the Nancy Reynolds Historical Committee.

Nancy Reynolds opened in 1923. In making it their No. 1 capital project, members of the Stokes County Board of Education have been talking about restoring it, building a modern-style school on the same site or building a new school elsewhere.
