-Letters to the graduating seniors were delivered from the 6th-graders and many students received thank you notes from the seniors.

Updates from Cave Spring High School include:

-A successful safe prom was held. In previous years, Cave Spring High School had had the most amount of deaths in years during prom season but this year no one got in trouble for underage drinking and there weren’t any accidents. Target patrols were facilitated by the Prevention Club to increase the amount of Officers on the road.

-Prior to prom, letters approved by the Roanoke County School Board Superintendent Dr. Lorraine Lange and the Roanoke County Deputy Chief addressing underage drinking and prevention thereafter, as well as consequences for those actions were sent to all senior parents valley wide.
