A heartfelt thank you to our incredible community partners for investing in our students and their learning experiences!

On March 3rd, the Rotary Club generously donated $3,080, sponsoring 20 students for upcoming field trips. Thanks to their kindness, ten 3rd graders will visit Bee City and ten 5th graders will explore Charleston’s Capers Island.

On March 10th, the Leesville Merchants Association donated $900 to support upcoming field trips at BLPS and BLES. Because of their generosity, 1st grade students will have the opportunity to visit Saluda Shoals and 4th graders will have the opportunity to visit the State Museum.

We are so grateful for the support of the Batesburg-Leesville community!
