McKissick Academy of Science and Technology - 9.13.24

September 13, 2024

Happy Friday! It was such a fun day seeing all of the Sharks sporting their college team spirit wear! We love dressing up while learning! It makes the whole day special. We will continue with celebrating Attendance Awareness Month with Monday, September 16 as Hat day. Any student can wear a hat that they love all day.

There is a good bit of information for this coming week and a lot of events that you will not want to miss! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and we can't wait to see you for a full, five day week next week!

Committed to Success,

The produce boxes are $20 for customers paying with credit/debit and only $5 for customers paying with SNAP/EBT. Customers order their food box online, and can select sites in Dacusville, Easley, Liberty, or Clemson to pick up their box twice per month.
