I know we’re a little late, but that’s because our amazing administrative assistant, Paige Alexander, deserves a whole day dedicated just to her. She truly is the best of the best. Mrs. Alexander keeps the Aiken Innovate program running smoothly by handling everything from phone calls and emails to organizing applications and supporting everyone whenever they need it. She is such an essential part of our team, and we couldn’t do it without her. Thank you so much, Paige Alexander, for being part of Aiken Innovate—we hope you know just how valuable you are!

Innovation, Art, and Athletics: That’s a Wrap on Spring Intersession! 

From the field to the art studio, our students didn't just spend the week learning, they spent it leveling up. The halls of North Augusta Middle were buzzing with the intensity of LEGO Wars and the creativity of Art Enrichment, while Aiken and Redcliffe Elementary became hubs for future engineers at our Coding Camps sponsored by SRNS.

The creativity continued with Fine Arts Coordinator Kimberly Fontanez’s much anticipated Dance Camp held at Aiken High, and High Schoolers across the District mastered the delicate craft of Stained Glass with local artist Stacy O’Sullivan at Midland Valley High School!

 The action didn't stop there; our athletic programs were not outshined! Coach Tice and the Aiken High School’s Girl’s Soccer team had an incredible week of skill building on the pitch while Kennedy Middle hosted an unmatched Sports Camp led by Coach Shuford and Coach Edwards. They even welcomed First Tee of Aiken to the camp to get our young athletes "Masters-ready" for next week! 

Whether they were building robots or perfecting their swing, our students made every moment of this Spring Intersession count.

Check out this week's highlights on Facebook and YouTube!
