Coosa Elementary proudly received the distinction of being the 28th Leader in Me Legacy School in the world. This honor reflects the unwavering dedication and hard work of our faculty, staff, and students, who embody the principles of the Leader in Me Habits each day. In celebration of this remarkable achievement and in recognition of the Month of the Military Child, the Parris Island Band delivered a special performance. We remain grateful for the support from our families and community members, which plays a vital role in our success.

We enjoyed having our families participate in STEM Night yesterday. We saw lots of smiling faces and creative minds at work.

Today we wrapped up our celebration of the Month of the Military Child! We are so fortunate to serve a large population of military-affiliated children at Coosa, and love the opportunity to celebrate them. Today our military-affiliated children participated in various activities with the L.I.N.K.S program. Check out the photo of our PreK- 1st graders. More pictures can be viewed on our social media outlets.

The Wellness Team sent home a fun challenge called, "Let's Move Away From Screens, and Move Towards Each Other." We hope our families have fun completing the challenge. All entries are due back on May 7.

Our Book Fair is off to a great start! The Book Fair will remain open to students until 10:15 a.m. on Wednesday, April 30.

We highly encourage our families to be proactive and set-up an eWallet for your student(s). This eliminates the need for cash and is a very safe and effective way for our students to shop the fair with our librarians, teachers, and volunteers. Please set-up your child's eWallet and learn more about our Book Fair here: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/coosaelementaryschool

If you have any questions about the Book Fair, please email Ms. Kabel: ashley.kabel@beaufort.k12.sc.us

Habit 1: Be Proactive - Taking Initiative

This week, you can revisit Be Proactive by encouraging your child to take initiative in various aspects of their life. Help them identify opportunities to take charge, such as starting their homework/chores without being reminded or helping a family member with a task. Praise them when they show initiative, reinforcing the idea that proactive behavior leads to positive results. Show them how being a self-starter sets them up for success in school and life.
