Go cash-free!

This is a GREAT way to have your child shop the book fair next week! You can add funds to their account to avoid sending them with cash!

Student eWallets are looked up at the book fair using the student's name, grade, or teacher; eWallets do not have to be printed or presented to a cashier.

You will only be charged for what is purchased, and after the book fair ends, the hold will expire and the funds will be released back to your credit card.

Additional funds can be added to the eWallet at any time. You can also cancel funds. Track spending and see all activity in your order history through your MyScholastic account.

Click here to support Support Arnie Ferguson- Cancer Medical Fund organized by Maddie Jayne

On Monday the 25th of February, Arnie Ferguson was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. With its malignant and rapid development, the Ferguson family has been able to lean on the support and love from family and friends. Thank you to all who have prayed, called, and reached out in this time where much is unknown.

Many friends of the family have showed interest in donating and supporting the Ferguson family. And, while they have done so much for others, they greatly hesitated to ask for that same support they open-handedly give out daily.

If you have, in anyway, been on the receiving end of their blessings, please consider donating to their medical fund and relieving some of their financial pain.

Thank you for you time; and even if donation is not feasible, please join us in praying for this amazing family!

THANK YOU to our Health and Wellness Fair sponsor, The Juice Joint!!

FRESH.
Opened in 2012 as a farmer’s market stand in downtown Charleston, Juice Joint was created to provide FRESH, Made-to-order Juices and Smoothies. Our recipes are crafted utilizing years of experience in the farm-to-table restaurant and hand-crafted cocktail scene that makes Charleston such a destination spot and fabulous place to live. No preservatives, chemicals or syrup-laden drinks here. Just FRESH ingredients made into flavorful beverages and food that are both delicious and healthy.

RAW.
Let’s face it. There are way too many options out there offering tasty, overly-processed fried food that tastes good going down but makes you feel lousy later. It’s time we all focused on feeding our bodies what our bodies need. We believe in creating super-great-for-you, healthy and delicious WHOLE-FOOD juices, smoothies and food items using RAW fruits and vegetables that retain their vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and enzymes. Try it – your body will thank you.

LOCAL.
The Juice Joint is a family owned/operated business run by Wendy and Mike Ezelle of Folly Beach. No corporate conglomerate dictating cost saving measures by skimping on quality here. We believe in living local and supporting other local businesses in our community. We purchase from local farms whenever possible. We know that purchasing close to home brings not only better produce that is healthier for our customers, but creates a stronger economy in our area.

Thank you to our Health and Wellness Fair sponsor, Axis Chiropractic!!

At Axis Chiropractic, our goal is to positively impact the Charleston community by helping to improve the overall health and well being of our neighbors. We believe an informed and educated community creates a culture of health and wellness. However, what we do is unique and different. Our corrective care chiropractic model is the most researched and published technique ever to be utilized in chiropractic. This allows the achievement of optimal health for you and your family by creating long term benefits for your posture and overall health that lasts far beyond mere pain relief. We have dedicated our careers to educating and inspiring people to understand the underlying cause of sickness and disease. This allows for a lifetime shift from chronic disease and pain, towards optimal health and longevity.

Our unique approach to your health is scientific, comprehensive and thorough. In addition to chiropractic adjustments, we support optimal health and wellness through supplementation, postural rehabilitation of the spine and ligaments, functional rehabilitation of muscles, physiotherapy, and specific, targeted soft tissue mobilization techniques.

Our team continues to stay abreast of the latest methods of proven treatment to achieve optimum function and performance with continuing education training. By obtaining certification in the most advanced chiropractic technique for postural corrective care available, Chiropractic Biophysics, you can rest assured that we are at the top of our game when it comes to your health.
