Life can take you a lot of different places, but you should never forget where you came from. This morning many of our soon-to-be graduates walked the halls of their former elementary schools for the last time.
The 2024 Commencement Ceremony for Berkeley Middle College will be streamed live at 7 p.m. To view, visit https://www.bcsdschools.net/live.
As a way of continuing to promote child nutrition and adding to the many celebrations capping the end of the school year, Berkeley County School District’s Office of Child Nutrition Services will launch a special giveaway next week (May 20–24) that will offer some big prizes.
Elementary, middle and high school students eating lunch and/or breakfast next week will be entered into a drawing for prizes that include, but are not limited to:
*iPads
*Wireless earbuds/headphones
*Underwater cameras
*Projectors
*Action cameras
*Bluetooth speakers
Students will receive one entry into the drawing for each meal they eat. Winners will be drawn at random, and those who eat multiple meals will obviously have an increased chance of winning.
SHOP LOCAL. YOUR PENNY MAKES A DIFFERENCE! Did you know that Berkeley County voters passed a resolution in 2022 that benefits our ability to build and maintain schools? Commonly known as a "penny tax," the measure enacts a one-percent sales tax for specific construction projects. https://bcsdschools.net/pennyprojects
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.
At this week's board meeting, Daniel Island School, Timberland High and Goose Creek High were recognized for their state title wins and North/South selections. Congratulations again to the following students and programs:
Daniel Island School - Cate Angle
Timberland High - JROTC Raider team and state champion wrestler Alex Rush
Goose Creek High - North/South selections Aiyanna Moss, Shane Potts and Preston Rhodes and state champion wrestlers Montero Royal and Uriah Peters-Gutierrez

Our students put on a stellar performance at the Charleston Battery's May the 4th game! Philip Simmons High's choir brought down the house with the national anthem and Hanahan High's JROTC presented the colors.

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
