Let's take a look back at September
Pediatric Cancer is a terrible and tragic disease that affects so many of our precious children. In honor of these.children and their families, our students and staff were encouraged to wear yellow. Gold (yellow) is the color that represents pediatric cancer which symbolizes HOPE. Many of our families in the Fort Mill community have gold bows around their mailboxes which helps show their support. We also wanted to "paint our school gold" by wearing yellow to bring awareness and support families who are and have been affected by this terrible disease.
Our Annual Grits for Grandparents was a hit! We had a wonderful turnout and enjoyed welcoming our grandparents to our school. It was a great start to everyone's day. Grandparents are such a treasure to our families- we love taking the time to honor and celebrate them!
We hosted our 2nd Annual Watch D.O.G.S Launch this month- Watch D.O.G.S is a national organization that supports dads and father figures to spend an entire day at school with their child. Watch D.O.G.S promotes dads in the school as role models and helps support the school's character program and to prevent bullying in the school. We are excited to have our dads back in our school! We will begin hosting dads at SCES starting the week of October 15th.
Our PTO hosted our first Bingo Family Night! It was a fun night filled with lots of winners! It was wonderful seeing so many of our families and teachers playing Bingo and spending time together. We look forward to many more family nights.

Sharkathon is Coming Soon!
Sharkathon Fun Run
Each year, our school community has done an AMAZING job asking for pledges and collecting pledges for our school. With the funds that our school collects from Sharkathon, we purchase items that will support our students. We have purchased the large shade structures for our playgrounds, created an Innovation Lab, and purchased the electronic marque in the front from the Sharkathon funds that were collected. We are in the process of adding shade structures to our Pre-K and Kindergarten playground! Sharkathon is our biggest fundraiser and these funds enhance and improve our school. We are looking forward to a fun Sharkathon week starting October 24th.
