"Now I know my ABCs..."
Kindergarten students at Bethany Elementary celebrated the conclusion of their alphabet and sounds unit with an Alphabet Parade this morning. Students wore vests and crowns representing a letter and picturing items that begin with their letter.
Parents were invited to cheer on their student in the Alphabet Parade and to stay for a session on how to support students in practicing sounds and reading at home.
Clover School District has been closely monitoring the forecast around Hurricane Helene and the potential for severe weather in our area starting late Thursday and continuing into morning hours on Friday.
Currently, the forecasts suggest that we may experience high winds, heavy rain, and potential flooding that would impact the travel conditions for buses and automobiles. Available information from various sources, including the National Weather Service, show that wind speeds may exceed the state guidelines for safe bus operation.
Based on this information, Clover School District will transition to eLearning on Friday, September 27. All CSD buildings will be closed. Parents will receive direct information from their school on the details around the eLearning Day.
At this time, forecasts indicate that weather conditions will improve by late Friday afternoon. Therefore, scheduled homecoming events and athletics on Friday evening will continue as planned. However, any changes to the schedule will be communicated by individual schools as needed.

Amanda Gallagher, Director of Engineering for @YorkCountyNaturalGasAuthority, spoke to Pre-Engineering students at the Applied Technology Center (ATC) today.
Ms. Gallagher shared details about her educational journey from Chester High School through the Civil Engineering program at the University of South Carolina. She highlighted the process for becoming a Professional Engineer and the importance of having this certification.
Through videos, photos and maps, Ms.Gallagher outlined how the natural gas system functions and explained some of the local projects on which she worked.
Pre-Engineering courses at the ATC are taught by Marti Brown and Wayne Williams.
In Mr. Jack McGivern's U.S. History class, students participated in an engaging and dynamic Presidential Mock Trial centered around the USHC Standard: USHC.2.E:
Utilize primary and secondary sources to judge the impact of economic and continental expansion on the evolving disagreements over natural rights and federalism.
The trial was designed to challenge students to analyze and interpret a variety of primary sources, including speeches, letters, political cartoons, and historical documents from Lincoln’s era.
Students were divided into two groups: one representing the prosecution, tasked with questioning Lincoln's decisions and legacy, while the other group acted as the defense, arguing in support of his actions and achievements. Each team had to build their case by thoroughly researching Lincoln’s policies on issues such as the Civil War and the preservation of the Union. Armed with evidence from the primary sources, students delivered opening statements, cross-examined each other and presented arguments to support their side.
The classroom transformed into a courtroom as students played their roles as lawyers, witnesses, and historians. The trial pushed them to not only think critically about Lincoln’s presidency but also to develop skills in argumentation, public speaking, and historical analysis.
By the end of the activity, the students had gained a deeper understanding of what it means to utilize the World Class Skills of the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate.
Bethany Elementary has received a $2,000 grant from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation.
