Lots of us have heard the story, 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙒𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙣 𝙊𝙡𝙙 𝙇𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙎𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙙 𝙖 𝙁𝙡𝙮, but how many have heard about the old lady who swallowed a cat, a boat, a Blow Pop, and more???
Mrs. Phillips and her 2nd-grade students read and studied a mentor text called, 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙒𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙣 𝙊𝙡𝙙 𝙇𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙎𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙙 𝙖 𝘽𝙖𝙩! After reading the story, these creative young authors used rhyme and rhythm to imitate the mentor text they'd studied and to create their own stories!

The 7 Mindsets focus for this week is "Growing Through Life." Students discussed that we all have obstacles to overcome to be successful. As we encounter obstacles in our life, those obstacles shouldn't keep us from obtaining our dreams, but rather, force us to find another path to achieve them. Adversity will happen, but it's what we do with our adversity that makes us who we are. #7mindsets

11/9, 2:00 PM: Evans County Charter School System (ECCSS) officials are working with Evans County Emergency Management Agency (ECEMA) to closely monitor Tropical Storm Nicole's trajectory and possible impact.
The safety of the students, staff, families, and community we serve is our top priority as we make decisions regarding the weather. Currently the greatest concern is the potential for wind gusts that exceed 40 mph which could impede the safe operation of school buses.
We will continue monitoring the conditions, so please continue to check our Facebook page or website for updates. Based on updates, the district hopes to announce contingency plans by 6:00 P.M. on Wednesday, November 9, 2022, if needed.
