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.

6th grade science created "Layers of the Atmosphere" Jars today!
Students were led through the lab and discussed what each layer represented. We had a whole group discussion on how each layer was different and how temperature (Density for the jar) plays a role in separating them.
Corn Syrup - Troposphere
Dish Liquid - Stratosphere
Red Water - Mesosphere
Vegetable Oil - Thermosphere
Green Rubbing Alcohol - Exosphere
