Happy First Full Week of School! Boy, I believe we are all tired from a full week of getting back in to the routines, procedures, and expectations. New year and new changes but we are working and learning together! Below is a good bit of information about what we did this week. Thank you to all of those that were able to attend our Coffee with a Principal too! It was a great turnout and we love our parent/school partnership. We know that is what fosters a positive school environment! Thank you for all you do at home to help us at school! Have a wonderful weekend!

Committed to Success,

Heather Touchberry

FoodShare is an affordable, fresh produce box program in our area. FoodShare boxes come with 10-12 varieties of fresh fruits and vegetables, including items from local farmers in the Upstate and recipe cards for inspiration! 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.
