📚 Bringing stories to life with a little storybook magic 📚

Our students and staff celebrated Book Character Day by bringing some of their favorite storybook characters to life! From familiar favorites to creative costumes, the day was filled with imagination, smiles, and plenty of literary fun!

Our Pre-K friends added an extra dose of excitement with their very own Storybook Character Parade, showing off their adorable costumes for the Palmetto community. Our Kinder students wrapped up a month of Spooky Mystery Readers with some familiar faces while Middle School had some Hocus Pocus dry ice fun with our very own Mrs. Frizzle and Mrs. G.

What a fun way to celebrate the magic of reading and the stories that bring us together!

Yesterday, our 5th graders had the opportunity to join fellow fifth graders from across Rock Hill for the Rock Hill Symphony Orchestra’s concert “America’s Birthday Party: A Musical Celebration!”

What a wonderful opportunity to experience live orchestral music, celebrate the power of the arts, and make memories with students from across our community. We love learning beyond the classroom!

🌟💙 Celebrating our Q1 Terrific Kids 💚🌟

Help us congratulate Harper, Nova, Harper, Remi, Olivia, and Jeremiah on being named our Quarter 1 Terrific Kids!

Sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Rock Hill, the Terrific Kids program recognizes students for their positive attitudes, good character, and efforts to be their very best.

We enjoyed a wonderful morning last Friday celebrating our Terrific Kids alongside their families hearing all about the positive difference they make in our school every single day. A special thank you to Ann Terry from Kiwanis for joining us to celebrate.

We are so proud of these students and all they bring to our Palmetto community! Keep shining bright, Terrific Kids!
