A special congratulations to Ms. Gowan's 2nd grade class for raising the most money during our Charleston Wraps fundraiser! They earned a pizza party that was held on October 20th. They even had a chance to "wrap" the flagpole at the front of the school! Congratulations 2nd Graders!

Friday (October 29th) was Pink Out Day in Richland One! Teachers broke out those pink suits, pink dresses, pink shirts, pink pants, pink jackets, pink ties, pink shoes, pink socks, pink hats and other pink attire as a show of the district’s support and solidarity in the fight against breast cancer. Check out the pics of your Bobcat Fam rocking their pink!

Consider registering for the Walk for Life or Famously Hot Pink Half Marathon! (Pssst...its fully virtual!)

Walk for Life and Famously Hot Pink Half Marathon are Prisma Health Midlands Foundation signature fundraising events benefiting Prisma Health Breast Center in Columbia, S.C. For more than three decades, thousands of people have helped raise more than $11 million to fund the latest in digital mammography technology and enhance programs and services for breast cancer patients and their families. Proceeds from the 2021 event will fund a 10th 3D mammography unit for Prisma Health Breast Center.

Register now through October 31st to walk or run in your favorite, safe place and invite your friends (including the furry ones!) as we take steps against breast cancer together. Your registration will include a shirt. Half marathon registrants will receive a finisher’s medal. Breast cancer survivors will be honored with a survivor’s bandana. Click here to begin your registration!

The Bobcat Family would like to say a special THANK YOU to our principal, Mrs. LaQuana Aldridge, for her commitment to excellence and for her support of the Bobcat faculty, staff, students, and families! Thank you for always giving your best and for your dedicated leadership to the A.C. Moore community!

Ms. Wright's 3rd grade ELA class is doing an altruism project to go along with their most recent novel study. During the month of October, they will be collecting canned goods for Harvest Hope Food Bank and pet items (new or gently used) for Pawmetto Animal Shelter. We welcome all families to donate!

Prisma Health is helping protect you and your family with free flu shots throughout the Midlands. The flu shot is available for anyone six months and older.
