Clover School District

Fourth graders in Bethel Elementary's Gifted and Talented program displayed projects today in hopes of finding "investors." Students create a zoo in this annual, integrated assignment. The students create a map of the site, including homes for all the animals they would like to include in their exhibits. They also create spaces for concessions, restrooms and performances. A business plan then emerges and students calculate the annual cost of operating their zoo. They may estimate ticket and concession revenues but know that investors will be needed to cover most of their costs. Students from other grades and adults attend the "pitch event" with checks in hand. When they are especially impressed by a thoughtful project, they may invest in it. Students celebrate receiving those checks and moving closer to the financial goal of their project.

On Friday, May 23, 5th graders at Larne celebrated the end of the year with a showcase of accomplishments. Many of the 5th graders chose to highlight their academic achievements from this school year. Some students also chose to showcase their achievements in other areas such as dance, baseball, art, equestrian events and many others. Hundreds of parents perused the halls enjoying the accomplishments of the 5th graders.

All schools and offices are closed today in observance of Memorial Day.
