Students from B-L Primary and B-L Elementary Schools who participate in our mentoring program had a blast at their skating party on Tuesday! The event was held at Celebrations in Leesville. Students enjoyed skating, pizza, time with their mentees and even got to pick out books to take home for their personal library. Just look at all of those smiling faces!
On Wednesday, November 13th, our schools came together to celebrate World Kindness Day with meaningful activities across each campus. At Batesburg-Leesville Primary School, students created a “kindness chain.” Each student wrote down an act of kindness—whether it was something they did, received, or imagined—on colorful paper links. These links were used to create class chains which were then joined together to form a vibrant, school-wide “kindness chain” that will be displayed proudly in the cafeteria. Batesburg-Leesville Elementary School celebrated with "sprinkles of kindness." Students wrote down their acts of kindness on paper “sprinkles,” which were then added to giant paper cupcakes displayed at the end of each grade level's hallway. At Batesburg-Leesville Middle School, students created a confetti wall by writing down kind acts or quotes on colorful “confetti” pieces, which were then displayed on a central bulletin board to inspire others. Finally, at Batesburg-Leesville High School, two students were chosen at random for being spotted doing acts of kindness, celebrating the power of kindness in action. A special thanks goes out to our counseling departments for heading up these efforts in Lexington Three! Remember to always be kind!

Students in Mrs. Fabrizio's class at B-L Primary School had a fun time reading "How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin?" as part of their spook-tacular lessons today. After the story, they each made predictions about the number of seeds inside of a large pumpkin that was in their classroom. Then, they scooped out the seeds and counted them in groups of ten to see whose guess was closest!
