The elementary students performed "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer" as a finale to their Winter Program. There were special guests such as Principal Leath, school teachers, and even Santa Claus! Not only was it entertaining, but it also showed why bullying is never okay, even if someone is different than you. The 12 Days of Festive Flair is all about spreading kindness and positivity. #12DaysofFestiveFlair #RudolphtheRedNoseReindeer #WinterProgram
The 12 Days of Festive Flair is meant to spread holiday magic and joy to everyone, even those outside of our district. The Winter Program at our Elementary School was so good it would get any Scrooge into the holiday spirit. Our kindergarteners performed a skit and danced to "Marshmallows and Hot Cocoa". We also heard an upbeat performance of "Jingle Bells" from our 1st and 2nd graders. #12DaysofChristmasFlair #HolidayClassics #WinterProgram

Thank you to the Rotary Club of Hampton County who presented all our third grade students with dictionaries! We are so grateful for their generosity and kindness, as it provides our scholars with the necessary tools to be successful.
