Mrs. Odenweller’s third grade class had a wonderful opportunity to learn about Japanese culture with a special visit from parent volunteer, Mrs. Lisa Takashima-Haggerty! 🇯🇵✨
Students explored traditions, gained new cultural knowledge, and even enjoyed tasting a delicious Japanese treat! Experiences like this help bring learning to life as students connect their classroom studies of Eastern culture to real-world experiences. 🌏📚
💛 A BIG thank you to EN Donuts (1692 Knox Ave, North Augusta, SC) for providing the delicious mochi donuts—bringing a taste of Japan right here to our students at home! 🍩✨
We are so thankful for our amazing families and community partners who share their time and generosity to enrich learning for our Dolphins! 🐬💫

Today, we are proud to recognize two incredible leaders who help make North Augusta Elementary such a special place—Mrs. Jessica Boyd and Mrs. Ashley Clark!
Behind the scenes and throughout each school day, they work tirelessly to support every part of our school. From helping lead instruction and supporting teachers, to ensuring a safe and positive learning environment for our students, their impact is felt in every hallway and classroom.
They manage daily operations, assist with student support and behavior, coordinate testing and school-wide programs, and build strong relationships with families and staff. Whether they are stepping in to help solve a problem, celebrate a success, or lend a listening ear, they do it all with care, professionalism, and a true heart for our school community.
Their dedication, compassion, and leadership help keep everything running smoothly—and more importantly, help make NAUES feel like a family. 💙🐬 Our school is stronger because of them.
We are so grateful for all they do each and every day!
Thank you, Mrs. Boyd and Mrs. Clark, for your commitment to our students, staff, and families. You truly make a difference!

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!
We are committed to creating inclusive environments where every student feels seen, supported and valued. This month is dedicated to increasing understanding, promoting acceptance and supporting individuals with autism.
We would like to thank and recognize our dedicated and incredible Specialists, Teachers, and Aides, along with related service providers, who support students with autism across Aiken County everyday. Your hearts, care and dedication have a lasting impact on the lives of our students and families.

This month, we proudly recognize and celebrate the strength, resilience, and sacrifices of our military-connected students. These children serve too, navigating schools, new friendships, and long periods of separation with courage and grace.
In ACPSD we are committed to supporting every military child and ensuring they feel seen. Valued, and connected no matter where their journey takes them.
As part of our commitment, we have launched dedicated webpages designed specifically for military-connected students and their families. These pages provide easy access to resources, support services, transition tools, and important information to help every child thrive.
Explore the pages at www.acpsd.net/purple-star or on your school's webpage under the Our School tab.
We encourage you to join us by participating in the activities and dress up days throughout the month of April as we honor our military children and the important role they play in our community. Please visit our Celebrating Military Families & Children District webpage for details on how to participate.
This month there will also be a Hygiene Drive on from April 14 - April 25.
