STANLY COUNTY, NC (WSOC) — A third-grade teacher at Norwood Elementary School in Stanly County died Sunday morning after a recent COVID-19 diagnosis, the district confirmed.
Stanly County Schools said that Julie Davis had worked at Norwood Elementary for two years, where she earned a well-deserved reputation.
