Our Amazing Cafeteria manager, Kacey Britt, hosted "Dinner Etiquette" with our students on Tuesday, September 24, 2024. The trip was in cooperation with the St. George Rosenwald School. Students learned how to set the table, use the correct forks and spoons for meals, and the proper way to hold a glass. Students also got to visit the Children's museum and explore the history of St. George, SC. Thank you for your dedication and hard work Mrs. Britt. Special thanks to Ms. Shiela Keaise at the St. George Rosenwald School for coordinating the visit.






🌟 Shoutout to Mrs. Griffith and Mrs. Berry at Harleyville Elementary School for leading an awesome lesson! Her students were fully engaged in centers, practicing skills they've been working on during lessons. One of the activities had students retelling stories with their friends, while others worked on counting sets using a ten frame, identifying letters, counting groups, and sharpening their social skills by sharing and problem-solving. It's amazing to see such interactive and thoughtful learning in action! 📚👏 #LearningInAction #HES #EngagedLearners #TeacherSpotlight
