Beech Springs Middle School

We couldn’t end the day without celebrating these lovely ladies for Paraprofessional Appreciation Day! 💜They pour into our students every day while also supporting, uplifting, and helping teachers every step of the way. Your dedication, teamwork, and heart make such an amazing difference. We’re so grateful for all of you!

#ParaprofessionalAppreciationDay

Today our school wore black and gave back to our teachers. Leadership Beech students did an amazing spreading cheer throughout our school! 💜 And a special thank you to Belle Claire Boutique for donating the snacks. We appreciate you! 🎉

Twenty-two of our 8th grade students had an incredible opportunity today to see democracy in action at Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC! 🇺🇸⚖️ The South Carolina Supreme Court held special sessions on campus, allowing students to observe real oral arguments. After each session, the justices answered questions, giving our students a firsthand look at how decisions are made at the highest level of our state’s judicial system. 🏛️ Students also enjoyed a short campus tour and lunch in the dining hall. We’re so proud of their thoughtful questions and outstanding behavior throughout the day! 👏🎓

To wrap up their Africa unit, 7th grade social studies learned about the cultural significance of animal masks and their role in coming of age tribal traditions. 🇿🇦 They read and answered questions from a non-fiction source and then chose an animal to represent the characteristics they hope to embody and created their own!

A closing reception was held at the D5 Fine Arts Center honoring advanced and honors art students. 🎨 Two of our very own students proudly represented Beech Springs Middle School at this special event.

In addition, a Youth Art Month reception at the Chapman Cultural Center in Spartanburg showcased incredible young artists. Another student represented Beech Springs with her beautiful watercolor painting of a purple flower.

We’re so proud of these amazing students for sharing their creativity and representing Beech Springs so well! 💜🖌️
