Aiken Elementary School has a new bridge in the Outdoor Classroom! Michael Erwin and the Scouts of Troop 110 worked on the bridge and completed it for Michael's Eagle Scout Project. The bridge was placed over a drainage ravine, along a path in the Outdoor Classroom. The path leads to one of the Outdoor Classroom's seating areas and students will now be able to cross the bridge instead of stepping over the ravine. Thanks to Michael Erwin for all of his hard work and dedication! And shout out to the rest of the Scouts and leaders in Troop 110 that helped bring this project to life! We cannot wait until it cools off a bit so that we can take advantage of this new addition to our Outdoor Classroom! #wearebettertogehter

PALMETTO CIVICS PROJECT AN INITIATIVE OF THE SC DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Families are invited to participate in Summer SC 250 activities as South Carolina prepares to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution and our state’s important role in our nation’s history. These summer activities provide meaningful opportunities for students and families to learn, explore, and connect with local and state history. Take part and help celebrate South Carolina’s rich history, heritage, and contributions to our country.

The Palmetto Civics Project is a resource-rich initiative designed to foster students’ understanding of and respect for the institutions that sustain our civic life. Our goal is simple but profound: every South Carolina graduate will leave school prepared to embrace the privileges and the responsibilities of American citizenship.

Please visit SC Palmetto Civics Project to learn more.
