Messages of Hope: Ep 1 - Valle Crucis School
Description
With the support of UNC Health Appalachian, the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce presents Messages of Hope. This series features stories of the perseverance, courage, and partnerships displayed in the wake of Hurricane Helene's impact on the North Carolina High Country.

In our first episode, we hear the story of flooding at Valle Crucis Elementary school, and how local partners came together to provide a home for over 250 students and staff that were displaced from one of Watauga County's oldest and most cherished locations.

Produced by Real Boone Studios with support from the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce. Additional footage provided by Watauga County Schools and Jason Cornett.
