Coosa's library is partnering with BCSD's NEW Seed Library! We have okra seeds that are available for students/families to "check out" through the Coosa library to plant in your own home garden this spring/summer. There is no cost for families to participate, but we would love to see evidence of our student's gardens! Each pack of seeds includes a growing guide for students and families to follow. If you are interested in participating in this program with your child this summer, then please email Ms. Kabel at Ashley.Kabel@beaufort.k12.sc.us by Monday, May 19.

Ms. Olivia, from the Beaufort County Library System. came to visit our library to share about the upcoming Summer Reading Program! Be sure to look for information coming home with your students on how they can participate this summer!! We hope all of the Bobcats will participate!

Put First Things First - Focusing on Priorities

This week, we focus on the Habit: Put First Things First by helping your child understand the importance of focusing on priorities. Encourage them to put their schoolwork, chores, and personal growth first before engaging in distractions like social media or television. Help your child organize their tasks based on importance and deadlines. Praise them when they stick to their priorities and avoid procrastination, reinforcing the benefits of time management and discipline.

If you are interested in partnering with Coosa, you can find more information on our website: https://ces.beaufortschools.net/about-us/business-partners
