Please support the Coosa Elementary and Lady's Island Elementary School's NEHS by donating to our "Food for Beaufort" food drive to support HELP of Beaufort in restocking their new pantry shelves. From April 24th-May 19th we will be accepting donations of canned veggies, spaghetti sauce products, canned meats, soups, beans, healthy drinks and snacks, canned fruit, and condiments. Your child may bring the items to school with them and give them to their homeroom teacher. Thank you for your support!

Teacher Appreciation Week is May 1-5. At Coosa, we believe that all faculty and staff members are teachers - regardless of their position. During this week, we honor all employees for their dedication to the field of education. If you are interested in surprising a faculty or staff member with a small treat, please do so.

Students are not allowed to make phone calls from personal cell phones or smart watches at school. If a student is not adhering to these guidelines, the watch or phone will be turned in to the office for parent pick up. The item will not be allowed back to school. If your student wears a smart watch to school during state testing in May, they will be required to remove the watch prior to testing. Please contact an administrator with any questions.

Last Friday, our 5th grade students got to attend the biannual STEM Air Show on the Marine Corps Air Station! Students experienced a multitude of airplanes, helicopters, and more while engaging in hands-on learning. Furthermore, they got to see the Blue Angels fly!

On Tuesday, our 4th and 5th graders got to play with the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra! We're so thankful for all Mrs. Smith does to help our young musicians grow!

Yesterday, the children of our military population were able to participate in the Military LINKS program. This was a session of information and team building!

Earlier in the week, the NEHS along with our friends from the Sea Island Gardening Club (one of our wonderful business partners) planted two lemon trees next to our fig tree and blueberry bushes. Students learned how to space the tree properly, dig a hole twice as wide and deep, and the proper steps in caring for the tree. We can't wait for our lemon trees to bear fruit!

Our Spring 2023 Scholastic Book Fair was a success, and we want to take a moment to thank our community for supporting the Book Fair! The Book Fair directly supports our school library collection and our Book Vending Machine!
