4th grade stepped back in time with a visit to Walnut Grove! 🕯️🏡
During their guided tour, students explored historic buildings and learned about the Moore Family, their settlement in the South Carolina Backcountry, their role in the Revolutionary War, and what everyday life looked like during Colonial times.
Students also participated in a candle-making class, discovering how candles were made and used in early American homes. It was a great hands-on way to bring history to life!

Our 1st and 2nd-grade students enjoyed a special visit yesterday from our friends at the Greenville Swamp Rabbits! Jack and Anthony read some of their favorite books to our students in celebration of Read Across America Day.


Our 3rd graders had an incredible day at the Schiele Museum of Natural History! 🦖🌎
They explored hands-on exhibits, made real-world connections to their recent science and social studies units, and deepened their learning in an exciting, interactive environment. Best of all, they had so much fun doing it!
Experiences like this bring classroom learning to life. 💙✨
Hard to believe high school is right around the corner for our 8th graders — but we are READY! 🎓✨
Today, students took part in a Socratic Seminar, sharing thoughtful analysis and powerful insights from their reading assignment. The depth of their discussions, critical thinking, and confidence truly show they’re prepared for this next chapter.

This weekend these awesome students represented Lead in the Black History Bowl. They competed against other middle and high schools all across Greenville and won 3rd place! The team put in lots of time to learn facts about African American intentors and we are very proud of them! Thank you to Long Branch Baptist Church for hosting this event and our very own Ms. Sweeney for leading the team!
On National SRO Day we want to give a shout out to our very own Officer Turner! We are so grateful to have you as a part of our school community!

Falcon Surprise! 🎉Today our students were surprised with a visit from Sky, one of the Harlem Globetrotters! 🏀 They loved hearing from him, seeing his skills in action, and learning some new tricks along the way!
On Friday, students who reached their iReady Winter goals celebrated their hard work and success with a Silent Disco! Students who met one of their stretch goals in Reading or Math received a glow stick, and those who met both their Reading and Math goals received LED glasses.
Everyone had an amazing time grooving to the music and celebrating their achievements together. We look forward to recognizing even more student success after our spring round of iReady testing!
