📚💛 Read Across America Week Fun at NAUES! 💙🐬
All this week, our Dolphins have been celebrating Read Across America Week, and our students and teachers have had so much fun dressing up in creative and unique outfits!
Today was Wacky Wednesday, and Ms. Council’s class celebrated in style by reading Wacky Wednesday by Dr. Seuss. The students had a blast carefully examining the pages and counting all the wacky things they could find. Let’s just say… there were A LOT! 🤪📖
Learning, laughter, and reading go hand in hand at NAUES, and our Dolphins are loving every minute of the celebration!
🎉 The fun continues tomorrow:
👯 Thursday – Dress Like Twins
🚀 Friday – Future Career Day
We can’t wait to see what our Dolphins come up with next!

One book, two books, red books, and blue books!
Today, Monday, March 2, kicks off Read Across America Week! Read Across America is presented by the National Education Association and plans literacy festivities alongside Dr. Suess's birthday.
We challenge all students across Aiken County Public Schools to pick up a book this week and start reading, and we thank the community leaders who are serving as guest readers bringing literacy to life throughout our classrooms.
During National School Social Work Week, we are proud to recognize and thank our school social workers and student service workers for the incredible support they provide to our school community.
They play a vital role in supporting students’ academic, social, and emotional well-being through compassionate guidance, collaboration with families and staff, and a strong commitment to helping every student succeed.
The 2026 theme, “Unite to Ignite: Celebrating Our Impact,” reflects the positive difference they make by bringing students, families, and educators together to create a caring and inclusive school environment across all Aiken County Public Schools.

Help us congratulate Mrs. Christine Witt, a kindergarten teacher at Hammond Hill Elementary School, on being named a Golden Apple Award Teacher by WJBF News Channel 6.
She was surprised by WJBF News Channel 6 and sponsors Kroger, Universal Plumbing, and Great Deals on Furniture on Friday, February 13, in her classroom as a recipient of the Golden Apple Award. Her segment will air on Tuesday, March 3 during the 5:30 PM broadcast on WJBF.
“I love kindergarten," she shared. I see these children come in as a blank slate basically and see them grow and learn. Those lightbulbs that come on... they are the joy every day to get to school."
Mrs. Witt started her career at Curtis Baptist, where she started teaching Spanish and Computer Science. She has experience teaching a variety of grade levels and made the switch to kindergarten during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I had a blank slate,” Witt said. “I had to write a program to keep 20 kids engaged on a computer. I had to get the mommas, daddies and grandparents to be their learning coaches. I wanted them to not be behind... to have the same standards and the same type of teaching at home as in the classroom.”
Mrs. Witt says she enjoys giving her students life lessons for success.
“Sometimes you make mistakes but you try it again and pick it up and that’s what I teach my little ones that you will do hard things, you will make mistakes, but we are going to try it over again.”
“Mrs. Witt embodies a great example of a Golden Apple recipient," Hammond Hill Elementary's Principal Dede Scott shared. "She creates a warm, welcoming classroom where every child feels safe, valued, and excited to learn in kindergarten. Through her patience, creativity, and high expectations, she helps young learners build strong academic skills and the confidence to believe in themselves. She goes above and beyond each day for her students and families, laying the foundation for a lifetime love of learning. Her heart, dedication, and excellence make a lasting difference in every child she teaches.”
“I cannot wait to get to it in the morning and I don’t want to leave in the afternoon," Witt shared.

💛🐬 All Pro Dads at NAUES – Building Strong Character! 🐬💙
Today we were excited to host our All Pro Dads meeting, where our Dolphin families came together to focus on this month’s character trait: Responsibility.
Responsibility means being dependable, making good choices, following through on commitments, and taking ownership of your actions. It also includes doing your best, being prepared, and doing the right thing—even when no one is watching.
This important life skill helps students grow into confident, trustworthy leaders. When children learn responsibility, they develop independence, strong decision-making skills, and pride in their work.
Ways families and teachers can support responsibility:
✔️ Establish routines for homework and daily tasks
✔️ Give children age-appropriate responsibilities at home and school
✔️ Encourage organization and time management
✔️ Praise effort, follow-through, and accountability
✔️ Model responsible behavior in everyday actions
Thank you to our amazing dads and mentors for investing your time and leadership in our students. Your involvement makes a lasting difference! 💛
📅 Next All Pro Dads Meeting: March 19, 2026
Topic: Patience
Patience is the ability to stay calm, wait without frustration, and keep trying even when things are challenging or take time. This trait helps students manage emotions, solve problems thoughtfully, and build strong relationships with others. Learning patience supports perseverance, self-control, and long-term success—both in school and in life.
We look forward to seeing our Dolphin families next month as we continue growing strong leaders together!

Today we were excited to host our All Pro Dads meeting, where our Dolphin families came together to focus on this month’s character trait: Responsibility.
Responsibility means being dependable, making good choices, following through on commitments, and taking ownership of your actions. It also includes doing your best, being prepared, and doing the right thing—even when no one is watching.
This important life skill helps students grow into confident, trustworthy leaders. When children learn responsibility, they develop independence, strong decision-making skills, and pride in their work.
Ways families and teachers can support responsibility:
✔️ Establish routines for homework and daily tasks
✔️ Give children age-appropriate responsibilities at home and school
✔️ Encourage organization and time management
✔️ Praise effort, follow-through, and accountability
✔️ Model responsible behavior in everyday actions
Thank you to our amazing dads and mentors for investing your time and leadership in our students. Your involvement makes a lasting difference! 💛
