The evening of April 25 all of the artists at Whitesville will be on display. Please join us in celebrating “The Faces of Whitesville” in the multi-purpose room STEAM Night April 25. A showcase of over 1200 self portraits! Each and every student at WES has been working diligently in art class, creating a self portrait in the style of a famous artist. Artworks will be arranged by grade level and by homeroom and EVERY artist will have one. (Artwork will be sent home after the show before the year’s end). Please come celebrate the creativity we have here at Whitesville!
Today was a big day for our Wise Owls! At NatureScope in Santee Canal Park, Mrs. Brennan and Mrs. Castle's classes were awarded second and third place respectively in the Kids Who Care environmental science project competition.

Spring has sprung! BCSD Spring Break runs April 1-5. All students return to school on April 8.
Ms. Pardue and Ms. K's, CERDEP class enjoyed their Mystery Reader this morning! The students loved pledging, "To Be Ourselves"!
The WES Wise Owls made their debut appearance in First Tee's, "Charleston Champion Cup" which was held at Wescott Plantation Golf Club! First Tee is a youth development organization that enables kids to build the strength of character that empowers them through a lifetime of new challenges. By seamlessly integrating the game of golf with a life skills curriculum, we create active learning experiences that build inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience that kids can carry in everything they do. All of our students participated in a golf unit this month in PE. These awesome 8 went on to represent our school at Champions Cup and placed 5th out of 16 schools!
Mrs. Weber came to work with CERDEP last week to help get the class garden started! She donated a wide variety of seeds, soil and rocks for rock painting. She spent nearly 2 hours with us helping us plant class plants we will eventually transplant into our raised garden-bed and plants that the kiddos will be able to take home in a few weeks. She also brought in mini microscopes so we could examine leaves, moss, onions and honeybees. We were also able to use our magnifying glasses to see a tiny fish she brought in to visit us for the day as well. Santee Cooper also donated a $100 gift card for us to use on this class project! 🤩
Thank you to our community partnerships!!
