Student of the Month Breakfast for December, January, and February
We celebrated our December, January, and February Students of the Month this morning with a donut breakfast! Congratulations to each of these incredible students!
Read-A-Thon
Our Read-a-thon is in full swing. Thank you to our students and their families for participating in raising funds to support literacy in our classrooms and the library. If you have not already set up your child's account, you can do so on Readathon.com. Students do not have to raise funds to participate. You can simply log minutes read into your child's account each night. So far over $10,000 has been raised for our school and over 7000 minutes have been read by our students this week.
Top fundraising class: Mrs. Cook, Kindergarten
Class with the most minutes read: Mrs. Turner, 4th grade
Top Fundraiser: Knox B.---Kindergarten

Career Day - We Need You!
Last year we had more than 25 careers represented at our event. In the past we have had so many amazing careers represented such as medical personnel, massage therapists, journalists, electricians, bakers, beauticians, personal trainers, etc. To make this even more interactive, we would love to have multiple vehicles, to include military vehicles (are any of our service members able to make this a reality for our students?), emergency vehicles, food trucks, police cars, heavy machinery, etc.
If you are interested in participating please RSVP or reach out to Mrs. Bossak with any questions at nicole.bossak@beaufort.k12.sc.us or 843-322-6123.
