Please join us for our annual Coosa Chorus Winter Concert performance in the cafeteria! The show begins at 6pm.

This week, we proudly recognized our November Students of the Month for respect and gratitude, the character traits for November!

On Wednesday, December 18 @ 9:00 AM in the cafeteria, our kindergarten students would love for their families to join them for a holiday sing along. We ask our families to arrive early to ensure everyone is checked in prior to the event. As a reminder, every adult coming to the event needs a form of identification ---driver’s license or other government issued ID.

Be sure to mark your calendars for our upcoming iReady Winter Diagnostics. All students will test in the area of math on Monday, December 9.

You can support your student(s) by:

*Ensuring their devices are at school and fully charged.

*Helping them to get a good night's rest before the test and a healthy breakfast in the morning.

*Giving them words of encouragement to take their time, read carefully, and do their best.

Thanks for your support!

Are you looking to clean out those unwanted shoes this holiday season? Looking for a place to donate them? Look no further, the Coosa Running Club will take them all! For a 5th year, the Coosa Running Club is teaming up with Grounded Running to collect shoes for those in need. Students can bring in any type of shoes in any condition during the month of January. With your help, and the support of our community, we have raised over 5,000 pairs of shoes! There will be boxes in the front lobby in January for shoes to be placed.

Are you interested in playing chess? I would like to start a chess club that would meet one day a week, (about an hour long) two times a month. The club would be for 4th and 5th graders. The amount of students in the club is based on the amount of student interested and the amount of adults willing to help. The school will be purchasing the chess boards for our club thanks to the donations from our business partners. If you know how to play chess or are willing to learn to help out with this club, please reach out to melisssa.pender@beaufort.k12.sc.us or call 843-322-6100.

Chess Club dates will be on Monday, January 13, 27; February 10, 24; March 10, 24 (6 days total) from 2:45-3:45. Parents must be willing to pick up students on these days. Mr. Murray, a 4th grade parent, will be leading the club. Applications will be sent home with interested students next week.

We have removed an event from The Calendar of Events that was sent home at the beginning of the year. We have cancelled our Annual Faculty and Staff Caroling Event due to a scheduling conflict.

🎉 Mark your calendars for a festive and fun-filled evening at the Multilingual Learners’ Holiday Event! Join us on December 11th, 2024, at 6:00 PM at the Robert Smalls Leadership Academy. This special gathering is open to all Multilanguage Learners from BCSD and promises something for everyone! Learn about the exciting updates to the ACCESS English Language Proficiency Test, snap a photo with Santa Claus himself, and cross your fingers for a chance to win amazing raffle prizes! Don’t miss out on the fun—we can’t wait to celebrate with you! 🎅🎁✨
