Members of the Clover High School Golf Team visited Griggs Road Elementary this morning to assist with the car rider line and to read to students. Giggles filled the air as one golfer punctuated his reading of Craig Smith's "The Wonky Donkey" with animated "hee-haw" sounds. Spencer Jackson is the Golf Coach at Clover High School and PE Teacher at Griggs Road.

As a Special Olympics Unified Champion School, the students in Clover High School’s Unified Sports class participated in a whole school engagement activity by learning about and promoting the Spread the Word Campaign. The students learned about advocacy and inclusion for students with intellectual disabilities and had an opportunity to reflect on how they themselves and CHS as a whole are inclusive. They developed their leadership skills and took ownership of this project by hanging flyers throughout the school and running a pledge table on National Activation Day, March 6. At the table, Unified Sports students told their peers about inclusion. They encouraged students and staff to take a “pledge to include” and to stand against the use of derogatory language targeted at individuals with intellectual disabilities.

Students in Mrs. Elizabeth Sain's Pre-Kindergarten class at Bethany Elementary celebrated Read Across America in a delicious way. After reading "Green Eggs and Ham," students predicted whether they would like green eggs. They cooked the eggs, tasted them and charted the outcome.

The Oakridge Middle FFA Chapter was named SC Middle School State Champions in the FFA State Horse Evaluation Career Development Event (CDE). Team members include Gracyn Fite, Gabriella Ortiz, Parker Brittain and Shivani Prakash. The team competed at the SC Equine Park in Camden. More than 120 middle and high school FFA members were in attendance. The Horse Evaluation CDE tests students' knowledge of equine science through a written identification test (equipment, breeds, anatomy), a team problem solving activity, and the evaluation and ranking of horses based on breed, conformation, and performance. Participants then must defend their rankings through oral reasons given before a panel of judges.

During Women's History Month, CSD celebrates the important contributions of women in our school district and community.
