🎄 Anderson County Sheriff's Office SC sponsored 50 students through their "No Angel Left Behind" Project, ensuring they received gifts and support.
🚴 Confederates MC raised funds through their annual parade and toy drive, donating to the Foothills Community Foundation and providing 42 bikes to Betty’s Bikes Fundraiser Drive.
🔧 Jackie's Starr Mart & Cafe collected and donated bikes, and with the help of Crescent Football players, they assembled them for local students.
🎅 Eggs Up Grill of Anderson sponsored 6 students, ensuring they had what they needed for a special holiday season.

Anderson 3 will operate on a regular schedule for Friday, January 24.
Our Transportation and Operations Teams have worked diligently today to survey current road conditions in the Starr, Iva, and Flat Rock areas. While primary roads are clearing up, unfortunately, many of our rural secondary roads still contain hazardous areas that are not safe for bus travel. ❄️🚌
Because of this, Anderson 3 will hold an eLearning Day on Thursday, January 23. 💻✏️
*Anderson 3 contains the largest geographical area in Anderson County. The rural makeup of our district causes challenges, as snow and ice in shaded areas are slow to melt, especially in low temperatures. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to ensure the utmost safety of our students, staff, and families.

Schools will communicate eLearning information. Please be reminded that students have five (5) school days to complete eLearning work following the date that school operations resume. (This should afford plenty of time for playing in the snow!) 🤞⛄️😉
