Our 8th graders had an incredible day exploring history on their field trip to Fort Moultrie and Drayton Hall in Charleston! 🚌📚
Students were able to walk through history at Fort Moultrie and see firsthand many of the things they’ve been learning about in class. They then traveled to Drayton Hall Plantation where they toured the historic Drayton House and had the unique opportunity to speak with archaeologists. 🏛️
Our students even got to see real artifacts discovered from an active dig site on the property, bringing history and science to life right before their eyes! 🔍🗺️ What an amazing day of hands-on learning and exploration!
Ms. Loving's class, their families, and their buddies recently had the chance to go to a Swamp Rabbit Hockey Game! They are so thankful for their best buddies and just love them! It was a day to remember!
Mrs. Edge’s ELA classes have loved welcoming Ms. Taylor Smith, a Teacher Cadet from Byrnes High School! 📚✨
She has jumped right in, connecting with students and bringing great energy to our classroom. We’re so glad to have her with us and can’t wait to see all the amazing things she’ll accomplish in the future! 🍎
Mrs. Bo’s 6th grade ELA classes collaborated to create anchor charts on biometrics, pulling out key information together.
Students then chose a side and defended it using strong claims, evidence, and reasoning. So proud of their critical thinking and teamwork! 👏📚

🧬➗ Math + Science in Action!
Students in Mrs. Landon’s 8th grade science class combined their science knowledge with their math skills while learning about genotypes and phenotypes. They practiced filling in Punnett squares to determine the probability that certain traits could be passed on to offspring.
Once they found the probabilities, students used their math skills to convert the results into ratios and analyze the likelihood of different traits appearing. It’s always exciting to see math and science working together! 📊🧬✨
Today we celebrated these incredible women on administrative professionals day! They truly do keep our school running smoothly every single day!

Mrs. Landon’s 8th grade scientists put their math skills to work in science today! 🧬➗ Students solved algebraic expressions and used Chargaff’s Rule to determine the percentage of nitrogenous bases found in an organism’s DNA. By applying the rule that adenine pairs with thymine and cytosine pairs with guanine, they were able to calculate the remaining base percentages and see how math helps unlock the patterns within DNA. 🔬📊🧠
