Night at the Derby Raises over $9,000!

Our 2nd Annual Silent & Live Auction raised over $9,000 towards the Sundrops Scholarship Program.  We are so grateful for all the parent and community support that we saw for this event.  Thank you to all the local stores and companies who chose to donate to this wonderful cause.  

This event also would not have been possible without all the help of our Auction Committee volunteers!  

THANK YOU to all for a wonderfully successful auction.

Fill the Barrel Food Drive!

Our Food Drive was a huge success!  The goal was to fill the food barrel we received from the Lowcountry Food Bank and we absolutely succeeded.  I think that we almost filled it TWICE!  Thank you to all the families who brought items in for those in the Lowcountry who are less fortunate.  It is greatly appreciated.

The elementary students are going to tour the facility tomorrow and will be delivering our collected food items.  

Holiday Craft Fundraiser!

Thank you to all who participated in this week's Holiday Craft Fundraiser event.  The children made some ornaments, wrapping paper and fun holiday cards.  They had a blast!  This event raised over $900 towards the Sundrops Scholarship Program.  Check out the sparkly pine cones & reindeer that we made below.

A Thank you from Ms. Audrey!

Thank you to everyone.  We raised over $2,000 to help Audrey & her family!  Please see the below for a few words from Ms. Audrey:

Dear Parents,

Words cannot explain all the feelings and emotions that I have been going through these past few months.  I was so sad I had to miss Pink Day at the school, but please know that I went to the hospital in my pink.  I want to thank everyone that participated and sent in donations.  Wow, you have no idea how that makes me feel.  My family and I are so happy to know that we have a fund set-up to help with any bills or needs that come our way during this crazy time.  Also, please know that having my kids on the lunch program has been such a big relief. Thank you to those that bought my kiddos lunch.  For those that don't know, my surgery went well, it was 5 hours long and very intense.  My first day back was great but by the end of the week I was tired.  I feel great now and have my energy back and will start chemotherapy on December 1st. 

There is no way to thank you enough for all the support during this tough time.  I truly appreciate everything you have done.  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Peace & love,

Ms. Audrey

Fill the Food Barrel for the Lowcountry Food Bank!

Fill the Food Barrel Food Drive

On Monday we will kick off our Food Drive to support our own local Lowcountry Food Bank!  This is our first Community Outreach effort of the 2011-12 school year.  To view our efforts for the entire school year, please visit our Community Outreach webpage.

The Food Drive will run from November 14th until December 14th.  We will be discussing it in class with the students, so be sure to talk about it at home too.  Let your children choose some items that they would like to bring in for those less fortunate.  

I hope that our students won't fit in the food barrel once our food drive is finished.  Let's fill the food barrel!
