Mark your calendars! School Picture Make-Up Day is scheduled for Tuesday, November 16th. 

 

We want to thank all of the students, parents, community members, and staff who helped us feed children and fill countless sandbags in the weeks following Hurricane Florence . With your donations and your help, we were able to make over 2000 lunches on Tuesday and 3500 lunches on Wednesday. This helped us feed children in the St. James and Socastee clusters, along with feeding flood victims staying in hotels and assisting churches and homeless shelters caring for children and protect many homes in the community from the rising waters.
