Last week, 4th grade students worked with an Artist in Residence, Ms. Cecilia Ho, to recreate landscapes from the Revolutionary War using felt. Before creating their landscapes they learned about different types of Fiber Arts, where felt comes from (Wool), how it's been used throughout history, and finally the process of felting itself.
Look at all the amazing landscapes that they created! Way to go 4th graders!

Berkeley County School District is currently monitoring the forecasts and receiving regular updates from Berkeley County Emergency Management and the National Weather Service on Tropical Storm Idalia. At this time, there are no changes to school operations. Any changes to operations will be communicated to staff and parents.
The South Carolina Department of Education purchased and provided Berkeley County School District and other school districts in our state with My Ride K-12 for communication of bus routes and delays. The app has been unable to provide parents with consistent delay information. BCSD is now tracking bus delays for parents using Google documents.
Bus Delays: https://www.bcsdschools.net/busdelays
With the first day of school less than one week away, we want to make sure families are aware of the new transportation features that pertain to bus riders. Learn more about My Ride K-12 and the student transportation tag program at www.bcsdschools.net/article/1203059.

Congratulations to our Spring Girls on the Run team who completed their 5k race at Riverfront Park this morning!
It may have rained a little but that didn’t stop them from giving it their all. They’ve practiced so hard for the past 10 weeks and we’re so proud of them!
We also went to send a BIG Thank You to our coaches and parents who support these girls and our program!
