Second grade had a fantastic visit from the Spartanburg Public Library’s STEM Lab! 📚✨
Our students had an amazing time getting creative as they designed and made their very own buttons and bookmarks. It was a hands-on learning experience filled with imagination, innovation, and lots of smiles!
A big thank you to the Spartanburg Public Library for bringing STEM learning to life for our students!

🎉 Huge congratulations to Berry Shoals Elementary fifth grader Alfredo Montillo Rubio! 🎉
Alfredo finished as this year’s runner-up at the 2026 USC Upstate Regional Spelling Bee—2nd place out of 80 spellers after 10 nail-biting rounds when only Alfredo and a 7th grader from Campobello Gramling Junior High were left standing. We are so proud of his dedication and hard work! 👏📚
📚 Mrs. Ballenger’s 4K class was rockin’ and rollin’ today! Students had fun learning about rhyming words and were introduced to the vocabulary word accident during reading. We are so proud of these little learners! 🌟
