A NIGHT OF EXCELLENCE: CELEBRATING THE 2026-2027 STARS OF PUBLIC EDUCATION
Tonight, at Aiken High School, the air was filled with music from the Jazz Band and a shared sense of pride as we honored the incredible individuals who make Aiken County Public Schools shine.
As Superintendent Dr. Corey Murphy reminded us, our schools are not defined by buildings or budgets, but by the people who show up every day for our students.
We are thrilled to introduce our 2026-2027 District Winners: District Teacher of the Year:
Jerry Brannon (Ridge Spring-Monetta Middle/High) A master of making complex science feel real and reachable. Mr. Brannon is a cornerstone of his school’s culture, known for meeting every learner exactly where they are with high expectations and a heart for mentorship.
First Year Teacher of the Year: Aleesha Ashe (North Augusta Elementary) In just her first year, Ms. Ashe has created a classroom filled with discovery and joy. Her poise and dedication to her 4K students prove that she is a rising star in the profession.
Principal of the Year: Dr. Charlene Heard (Warrenville Elementary) A visionary leader who believes that when educators are supported, students thrive. Dr. Heard’s leadership is rooted in the deep understanding that meaningful relationships are the foundation of academic growth.
Assistant Principal of the Year: Dr. Miranda Fulmer (Ridge Spring-Monetta Middle/High) Recognized for her innovative approach to school schedules and structures, Dr. Fulmer balances strategic data with a genuine heart for every student and staff member.
District Level Administrator of the Year: Brian Gibbons (Federal Programs) A leader of steady resolve and integrity. Mr. Gibbons is a vital guide for our principals, navigating complex responsibilities with a calm, compassionate approach.
Professional Staff Member of the Year: Carrie Adams (Hammond Hill Elementary) As a school nurse, Ms. Adams masterfully balances the well-being of our students with expert professional judgment, ensuring every child feels cared for, respected, and heard.
GEM of the Year: Karen Ulmer (North Augusta Elementary) The definition of service. Ms. Ulmer is the first to ask, "How can I help?" and brings a signature warmth to her school community that makes everyone feel at ease.
The evening also included a beautiful tribute to the legacy of Julie Revelle. Seeing so many staff members stand to honor her impact was a powerful reminder of what it means to lead with kindness.
To all our nominees and winners: Thank you for the talent and character you bring to our schools every single day!
🌟🐬 Celebrating Excellence at NAUES! 💛💙
We are beyond proud to share that Mrs. Karen Ulmer, our incredible School Attendance Clerk, has been selected as the Aiken County GEM (Giving Even More) Award recipient! 🎉
Mrs. Ulmer truly lives up to the meaning of this award—she gives even more every single day to support our students, families, and staff. From her warm smile each morning to the care and dedication she shows in helping our Dolphins succeed, she is an essential part of what makes North Augusta Elementary so special.
Her commitment, kindness, and tireless work behind the scenes do not go unnoticed. We are so lucky to have her as part of our Dolphin family!
💛🐬 Congratulations, Mrs. Ulmer! We are so proud of you! 💙

✨💛 Celebrating Excellence in Aiken County! 💙🐬
Tonight, Aiken County Public Schools honors some truly outstanding individuals at the Stars of Public Education Banquet—a special evening recognizing those who make a lasting impact on students and our school community.
We are incredibly proud to celebrate three amazing members of our NAUES family: Kristina Todd, Aleesha Ashe, and Karen Ulmer. 🌟
🎨 Kristina Todd, our talented art teacher, inspires creativity and self-expression in every student who walks through her classroom. She encourages our Dolphins to think outside the box, take pride in their work, and discover confidence through art. Her passion brings color, joy, and imagination to our school each day.
🌟 Aleesha Ashe, our First Year Teacher of the Year, has made an incredible impact in 4K. In such a short time, she has created a nurturing, engaging classroom where our youngest learners feel safe, loved, and excited to learn. Her dedication, energy, and natural talent for teaching truly shine.
📚 Karen Ulmer, our wonderful attendance clerk, is often one of the first friendly faces our families see each day. She works tirelessly behind the scenes to support students, families, and staff, ensuring everything runs smoothly. Her kindness, organization, and commitment make a difference in ways that are felt throughout our entire school.
These three ladies represent the very best of NAUES—leaders, role models, and champions for children. Their passion, dedication, and heart for our students help make our school such a special place.
👏 Congratulations on this well-deserved honor! We are so proud and grateful to work alongside each of you every single day.

💙🐬 All Pro Dads Meeting at NAUES 💛
Dads and father figures are invited to join us for our next All Pro Dads Meeting at North Augusta Elementary!
📅 Thursday, March 19, 2026
⏰ 7:45 AM
📍 North Augusta Elementary School
This month’s character focus is Patience.
Patience means learning to stay calm and positive even when things are difficult, frustrating, or take longer than we would like. It helps children learn how to manage emotions, solve problems, and treat others with kindness and understanding. When students practice patience, they become better listeners, better teammates, and stronger leaders.
During our All Pro Dads meeting, dads and their children will enjoy a meaningful morning together that includes conversation, encouragement, and practical ways to practice patience at home and at school.
We hope to see many of our NAUES Dolphins and their dads or father figures there for this special time together!

📚🐬 NAUES School-Level Battle of the Books Champions! 💙💛
This week, North Augusta Elementary proudly hosted our School-Level Battle of the Books Competition, and what an exciting two days it was! The battles took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the competition was incredibly close — with teams going neck and neck as they demonstrated their knowledge of the books they have been reading all year.
For those unfamiliar, Battle of the Books is a reading competition where students work together in teams to answer questions about a list of selected books. Students must carefully read, remember details, collaborate with teammates, and respond quickly to questions that begin with the famous phrase “In which book…”. The competition encourages students to read widely, think critically, and practice teamwork while celebrating a love of reading.
After several exciting rounds, the final battle came down to a matchup between:
📖 5th Grade Team: The Book Warriors
📖 4th Grade Team: The Fantastic Five
Both teams showed outstanding teamwork and knowledge, but in the final round, The Fantastic Five claimed the victory! 🏆
🎉 Congratulations to our winning team members:
• Nevaeh G.
• Victoria C.
• Elsie M.
• Avery P.
• Carlos V.
These outstanding readers will now represent North Augusta Elementary at the District Battle of the Books Competition on April 14, 2026, in Aiken.
We are incredibly proud of all of the students who participated in this year’s battles. Trying something new can feel a little scary, but our Dolphins showed courage, effort, and cooperation throughout the competition. Watching students work together, support one another, and celebrate reading made this event truly special.
Mrs. Morin could not be prouder of every student who stepped up to participate! 💙📚🐬
Good luck to The Fantastic Five as they prepare to represent NAUES at the district competition!

🔬⚡ Fourth Grade Scientists in Action! ⚡🔬
Fourth grade students from Mrs. Lewis’, Ms. Ware’s, and Mrs. DeLattre’s classes recently enjoyed an exciting and educational field trip to the Ruth Patrick Science Education Center, located on the campus of University of South Carolina Aiken.
During their visit, our Dolphins participated in engaging hands-on science and technology activities designed to spark curiosity and deepen their understanding of STEM concepts. Students explored the science of insulators and conductors, learning how electricity moves through different materials. They also had the opportunity to build their own electrical circuits, discovering how circuits work and experimenting to see which materials allow electricity to flow.
In addition to learning about electricity, students were introduced to the concept of algorithms through computer coding activities. By following step-by-step instructions and experimenting with coding challenges, they learned how algorithms help computers solve problems and perform tasks. These activities encouraged students to think logically, problem-solve, and work collaboratively with their classmates.
This hands-on learning experience brought science and technology to life and gave our fourth graders a wonderful opportunity to explore real-world applications of what they are learning in the classroom. A big thank you to the educators and staff at the Ruth Patrick Science Education Center for providing such an engaging and inspiring day of discovery for our students!

🍀🌈 St. Patrick’s Day Learning Fun at NAUES! 🌈🍀
St. Patrick’s Day brought a little extra magic and a lot of learning to North Augusta Elementary today! Our Dolphins enjoyed a day full of creativity, problem-solving, and festive fun across the building.
Students explored their imaginations by writing stories about following the rainbow to find a pot of gold, while others put their engineering skills to the test by designing clever leprechaun traps to try and catch the mischievous visitors. In math, students used Lucky Charms cereal to create graphs and analyze data, turning a sweet treat into a hands-on learning experience.
Of course, the day wouldn’t be complete without a little mischief! Many classes discovered that sneaky (and slightly destructive!) leprechauns had visited overnight, leaving behind clues, surprises, and plenty of giggles throughout the school.
It was a day filled with laughter, creativity, and meaningful learning experiences for our students. At NAUES, we truly feel lucky to learn and grow together! 💛🐬🍀

Mr. Badillo, we hope the students of North Augusta Elementary never stop chasing rainbows on their way to finding their pot of gold!
Today our school was full of St. Patrick’s Day fun, laughter, and maybe just a little bit of leprechaun mischief. One sneaky leprechaun decided to spread some extra joy around the building by handing out coloring sheets of Mr. Badillo as a leprechaun!
We’re not saying Mr. Badillo has a pot of gold hidden somewhere in the school… but if anyone finds it, please report directly to the library! 😉
Happy St. Patrick’s Day from our lucky Dolphins! 💛🐬🍀

Students also learned about decimals and why they are important when working with money.
Working together, the students created poster projects to share what they learned. Their teamwork and creativity helped bring their discoveries to life!
Great job, Dolphins! 🐬
