Celebrate National Coaches Day by giving a shoutout to the coaches who have made a lasting impact in your life! Established in 1998, this day honors the dedication, hard work, and influence of coaches across all sports, from professional leagues to school teams. It’s also the perfect time to thank those mentors who have guided you, taught valuable lessons, and helped shape athletes into future leaders.

Sunday is National Coaches Day, and even with intersession week, we can't miss the chance to celebrate our coaches! Give a shoutout to the coaches who have made a lasting impact on your life. Since its creation in 1998, National Coaches Day has recognized the dedication, hard work, and influence of coaches across all levels—from professional leagues to school teams. It’s the perfect time to thank those mentors who have guided you, taught valuable lessons, and helped shape athletes into tomorrow’s leaders.

While we sleep, they work. Often, we pass them in the halls without truly "seeing" the value of their efforts. That’s what makes this day so important. It highlights the hard work required to keep our facilities in excellent condition and honors those who tirelessly ensure our schools and workplaces remain spotless and sanitary. Custodians are our frontline defense in the battle against germs, a role that often goes unacknowledged. So, on National Custodian Day, take a moment to show appreciation for the custodians who maintain the spaces you frequent.

Congratulations to Cheraw Primary on received the Dominion Energy Grant! This grant provides students with a STEM learning experience in their one-of-a-kind learning labs and entrance into the Aquarium at Charleston.

They will be studying Habitats in SC Ecosystems across the state, have hands on experiences with residual animals/plants, and have a dually supported curriculum with the Aquarium and their classroom teachers focusing on Habitats.

In addition to this, these students will create art prior and following to demonstrate their knowledge of these animals and sea life as an additional STEAM element!!!

Thank you to Ms. Kelly Wheeler for all of her hard work on this grant!

October is a time to celebrate a special group of leaders in our community – our school principals. These committed individuals are instrumental in shaping the future of our students and guiding the direction of our education system. Throughout this month, we recognize and express our gratitude for their steadfast dedication, outstanding leadership, and significant impact on student success. National Principals Month offers a chance for all of us to honor these remarkable leaders for their vision and relentless pursuit of excellence for every student. A heartfelt thank you goes out to every principal for your daily efforts in creating a positive and supportive environment for both students and staff.

National Teaching Assistants' Day recognizes the invaluable contributions of teaching assistants who play a vital role in supporting classroom activities. They help prepare lessons, offer individualized support to students, manage classroom dynamics, and often work closely with children with special educational needs. This day is dedicated to celebrating their hard work and expressing gratitude for their commitment to education.

Thank you, Teaching Assistants!
