Brushy Creek Gets Creative on Family Clay Night This is one of the most popular events at Brushy Creek. Sponsored by our PTA, Brushy Creek family and friends gather with the students and staff for an evening of high creativity. Students show off their artistic talents as they incorporate design, functionality, and craftmanship along with a healthy dose of imagination into their unique pieces. The creations are then fired in a kiln and are sure to be destined become treasured family heirlooms. Brushy Creek Family Clay Night rocks! photos

Third Grade Visits Kings Mtn. for a Field Trip Packed with History Third grade students have been learning about the American Revolution and the important battles that happened here in South Carolina at that time. They learned that the battle of Kings Mountain was a turning point in the war and helped to end the war and bring the colonists freedom from England. These lucky third graders were able to get a first-hand look at the actual location of this battle by visiting Kings Mountain National Park. They took a walk up the mountain and saw several important monuments and even saw a musket demonstration where they learned the benefits of the weapons the Patriots used at that time! This wasn't just an ordinary field trip, it was a social studies lesson in action! photos

Brushy Creek Celebrates 100th Day of School in Style We students at Brushy Creek know how to celebrate the 100th day of school with style. We have fun with numbers all day long counting and learning what 100 of something looks like and comparing sizes, weights, and volumes. We have a table set up to guess which canister has 100 items in it. We show off a hundred of many things - buttons, dots, rocks, pennies, candies and books. The best part is dressing up to show what we will look like when we are 100 years old. Take a look at our pictures and see for yourself!
