🍎🐻 Welcome to The Den! 🐻🍎 Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting our New Teacher Meet & Greet at North Aiken Elementary! Our newest Bears were paired with their mentor buddies for the upcoming school year and spent the afternoon getting to know one another through a fun-filled Bingo challenge and an exciting scavenger hunt around the building. The time was filled with laughter, teamwork, great conversations, and delicious food as our new staff members explored their new home away from home. We were also grateful to have several community volunteers join us, helping to welcome our newest educators and showing firsthand the incredible support that makes North Aiken such a special place. To top it all off, each teacher had the opportunity to scratch and reveal the House they will proudly represent this year—an exciting moment that officially welcomed them into our North Aiken family! At North Aiken, we know it takes a village, and yesterday was a wonderful example of our school, staff, and community coming together to support the success of our students and teachers. We can't wait to see the impact these amazing educators will have on our school community. 💙💛 Welcome to The Den! 💙💛 #NorthAikenElementary #TheDen #FourHousesOneDen #BearPride #NewTeacherWelcome #TogetherIsBetter #CommunityStrong

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.
