Meet Crescent Senior and Future Teacher Jacob Holbrook! 🍎⭐
Jacob is the first senior in our SC Teaching Fellows Spotlight! The SC General Assembly created the SC Teaching Fellows Program in 1999. The program's mission is to recruit talented high school seniors into the teaching profession and help them develop leadership qualities. The $24,000 scholarship is awarded to only 200 SC seniors annually. This year, Crescent had three recipients! We are excited to spotlight these talented seniors to celebrate their accomplishments and promote the teaching profession!
Jacob completed his field placement in Mrs. Brooke Davis's 1st Grade Class at Iva Elementary School. Jacobs said, "I learned so much from not only her but also the students in her classroom. It was a great experience for me to go into my former elementary school and gave back to the school that did so much for me. When I become a teacher, I hope to make a difference in the students' lives. I cannot wait to work with my classes to achieve the common goal of academic achievement. "
Jacob has been accepted to Anderson University, where he will major in Secondary Social Studies Education with plans to minor in Worship Leadership.
Congrats, Jacob! ⭐

To review and relax before SC Ready testing, the 3rd grade at Flat Rock Elementary had a "Glow Day" on Friday! Classrooms went dark except for black lights that illuminated fluorescent objects. Students used fluorescent highlighters to review passages, math equations, and other activities! They also wore neon glasses and glow sticks to stick out even more. Good luck to all of our students testing this week! 🔦🧡

Thanks to a grant from BOSCH, STEAM Students at Iva Elementary were able to use measurement standards to put ingredients together to cook waffles! Students identified ingredients and observed chemical reactions by mixing dry and liquid ingredients. Thank you, Mrs. Stone and Ms. Ferguson, for working together to provide this learning-by-doing opportunity to students!

Today (May 11), Governor McMaster signed an executive order related to face masks in schools. In this order, he directed the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) and the South Carolina Department of Education (SDE) to develop the appropriate forms and guidelines to implement the order.
Until SCDHEC and the SDE have issued their guidance, we will continue operating under our current face mask guidelines. As soon as the new guidance is issued, we will share additional information.
We appreciate your patience as we work together to return to normal operations.
