🔬 6th Grade ELA Scientists at Work!
Our 6th graders traveled back in time to Camp Columbia alongside Dr. Walter Reed, Dr. Agramonte, Dr. Lazear, and Dr. Carroll! 💉 They stepped into the lab to investigate the mystery behind Yellow Fever — is it caused by bacteria, contamination, or transmitted by mosquitoes? 🦟
Our brilliant lab technicians will uncover the truth this week through reading, research, and discovery! 👩🏽🔬📚✨
Big congratulations to our very own Dajuan E. McDowell!
🎉
Dajuan received his Funeral Director’s Certification on August 7, 2025, from Piedmont Technical College in Greenwood, SC! Just last week, he attended the National Arts Board Exam Review Course in Atlanta, GA, and now he’s preparing to take his National Arts Exam in the coming days. We’re so proud of you, Dajuan, and can’t wait to see all the great things ahead!
