We are thrilled to highlight Mrs. Griffiths’ 6th grade Science class! Our students were actively engaged in building water cycle models, bringing science concepts to life. Creating models helps make abstract ideas tangible, strengthens critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and encourages collaboration and engagement. A huge shout-out to Mrs. Griffiths and her amazing students for their hard work and creativity.

We are so excited to highlight our 7th grade ELA students! Recently, our teachers, counselors, and instructional coach collaborated to design a powerful writing project that educated students on the dangers of vaping.
This collaboration was not only meaningful, but it also aligned directly with our ELA writing standards. Students strengthened their critical thinking skills by citing evidence to support their claims, while teachers provided ongoing feedback to help them improve their writing. Great job to our counselors and instructional coach for providing their expertise in the development of this project.
We are proud of our 7th grade ELA team for creating such an authentic and impactful learning experience for our students!

We are excited to highlight Mrs. Holmes’ 6th grade Science class! Our students had a blast using the scientific method to explore how many candies of each color are in a bag of Skittles. They collected data, made hypotheses, recorded their results on charts, created graphs, and drew conclusions just like real scientists.
This fun and engaging activity not only made science come alive, but also helped students work together, think critically, and discover the joy of learning through hands-on experiences.

Greetings CCMS Families,
Today we are excited to spotlight our 8th Grade Gifted and Talented Social Studies class!
Our GT students were given the task of creating models of a tribal village to represent one of the three main Native American tribes in South Carolina: Cherokee, Catawba, and Yemassee.
Each model showcases important aspects of tribal life, including:
Housing
Food sources
Natural resources
Region or environment
Students are also able to share their models and explain their thinking to peers and instructors. This process fosters discussions and collaborative learning, allowing students to learn from one another and deepen their understanding.
This project provided our students with an opportunity to apply their knowledge in a creative and hands-on manner while exploring South Carolina’s rich Native American history. We are so proud of their effort, creativity, and hard work! Great job to Mrs. Rainford and to her students.

The staff at Colleton County School District has been very busy for the start of the new year. The Communications Team has started an internal “Tell Me Something Good” campaign to boost team morale and keep the positive energy moving. Each week employees will submit something positive by 5pm on Friday. A random winner will be chosen each Monday and presented with a small token to say thank you for promoting positivity within our district.
This week our “Tell Me Something Good” winner was Mrs. Lisa Stephens from Colleton County High School. Mrs. Stephens shared the following quote, “Let your smile be the reason someone smiles today.” Congratulations and keep up the great work!
