We wanted to extend our sincere THANK YOU to each of you! We are incredibly proud of our readers and immensely grateful for your support, which made our recent fundraiser a resounding success. Our students had a wonderful time diving into their books and embracing the joy of reading, truly embodying Habit 1: Be Proactive by taking charge of their learning.

As we reflect on this achievement, we recognize the importance of Habit 4: Think Win-Win, as your support helped create a positive experience for everyone involved. Our students demonstrated Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw by engaging in reading, which nourishes their minds and spirits.

We can't wait to host another Read-A-Thon next year, continuing our journey of growth together! We raised an amazing $15,411.00 that will be utilized to support our literacy program here at Coosa!

Thanks again for your unwavering support!

In the library, Ms. Kabel has started to tell the students about the Beaufort County Library annual bookmark contest which kicks off their annual Summer Reading Program. You will see the entry form come home over the next couple of weeks for students who want to participate. Any entries that are turned in by Friday, March 28 to Ms. Kabel will be turned in to the Beaufort County Library for consideration in the contest.

Synergize - Valuing Differences

This week, we focus on Synergize, which teaches students to value differences and collaborate to create better results. Encourage your child to work with others who have different skills or perspectives. For example, if they are working on a group project, help them recognize how each person brings something valuable to the table. Praise them for being open-minded and appreciating others’ contributions. This teaches your child that diversity enhances creativity and problem-solving.

Below are the dates for our iReady Spring Testing for Grades 3-5. Please have students come to school prepared to do their best and show all they have learned. We also ask that you help us remind them to bring their charged laptops.

• Reading – Tuesday, April 1
• Math – Tuesday, April 8

Please ensure your family’s contact information is up to date. If you have moved, have a new phone number, or need to update a student’s emergency contact(s), please contact Mrs. Tyson at 843-322-6100 or nichelle.mcewen-tyson@beaufort.k12.sc.us.
