A little bit of rain certainly did not dampen the festivities this morning as Stratford High students and staff ventured outside to cheer on the boys soccer team as they boarded the bus to leave for the state championship! The bus left in style with vehicles from Goose Creek's police department and the fire department providing an escort off the campus.
Stratford High Knights will face off against the Fort Mill Yellow Jackets at 3 p.m. at Memorial Stadium in Columbia. The team is led by Coach Jessie Stament.

There were a few misty eyes at Westview Middle yesterday as we watched 31 students accept their Turnaround Achievement Award in front of their families and school administrators. This program is a long-standing tradition that recognizes our students who have tackled hardships and obstacles, but went above and beyond to better themselves for the sake of their academics.
Today, roughly 700 BCSD elementary students spent the morning exploring the natural world at NatureScope in Santee Canal Park. Put on by Kids Who Care, a local non-profit focused on environmental science education, the winners of the non-profit's environmental science project competition were also announced at the event. Congratulations to Moncks Corner Elementary on taking home the top prize for the second year in a row! #makingapositivedifference
