Battle of the Books Welcome participated in “Battle of the Books,” a district-wide reading incentive program, during the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 school years. Interested fourth and fifth grade students read ten pre-selected South Carolina Children’s Book Award nominees and attended weekly practice sessions to qualify for the team representing Welcome at the district competition in April. Welcome BoB Team members: Fourth graders: Keishla, Celeste, Taylor, and Alsten. Fifth grader: Luis Gamboa. Alternates: Fourth graders, Sarye and Robert.
Welcome Elementary is the winner of a $5000 Toolbox for Education Grant from Lowes. This grant will help to finish our outdoor classroom and learning garden. We have ordered a set of picnic tables to accommodate an entire classroom of children. This will provide workspace for science investigations, art projects, reading, and nature studies. We will also be adding plants to our butterfly garden and bird sanctuary. We are grateful to Lowes for making our dream a reality. Jump Rope for Heart Week A big Thank You to everyone that participated and raised money for the Jump Rope for Heart Week. The younger students enjoyed learning how to jump rope and everyone enjoyed helping a great cause. Between the dance, the jumping and all the fun, our school raised a total of almost $4000.00 this year.
PBIS Welcome Elementary is
proud to be a PBIS school. Our three school-wide
expectations are show respect, take
responsibility and be ready to learn. At the
beginning of the school year, all students
received training on these expectations and what
their behavior should look like in all areas of
the school building. Students receive Star Bucks
for Parent Portal Passwords Parent Portal Passwords are now ready to be picked up. These passwords must be picked up in person by legal guardians.
