Wishing all of our SPES families a joyous holiday season and a happy new year!!

Friday, December 20th is a half day for our students! Please be sure to send in a written note to your child’s teacher if they will be going home differently than usual!

[12/17/19]   Parents, please check lost and found for missing coats. We’d like to donate what is not collected to the Girl Scout coat drive this Thursday. They have already dispersed over 500 coats to families in need. Thank you to our SPES family for helping ❤️

Congrats to our little thespians! They did great! We are so thankful to have had Storytree Theatre and Andrea Rausch at SPES this semester to teach our kiddos ❤️ #braincandy #childrenstheatre #spes

Our amazing Health and Wellness Committee spent their day encouraging our students to try a new “healthy food”! Today your students tasted lima beans that were sautéed in onions, carrots and olive oil! Yum!

Thank you Stiles Point Elementary PTA for the delicious lima beans. They were a hit!

🌱 🌱 Our PTA Garden committee has been busy!!! 🌱 🌱

Stiles Point has received a grant in cooperation with Audubon South Carlolina, to add many native plants to the grounds. These plants, once established, will thrive with little care and will bring native birds, caterpillars, and pollinators to the gardens. Jennifer Tyrrell is the Coordinator for the project and provided a link for more information https://www.audubon.org/plantsforbirds.

Last week was Native Plant Week for South Carolina. The Kindergarten classes celebrated by participating in a group gardening day.
Students planted native species of Blueberry bushes, Coneflowers, Sunflowers, Poinsettias, beauty berry and and many others.
For more information please see the link.

We also were able to plant a few fall vegetable beds (not exactly local species but germinated locally and organic) . Students of Mrs. Doniphans class planted carrots, cabbage, kale, cauliflower and broccoli plants. We plan to plant with Mrs. Sayle’s class next week!

And, finally, a HUGE thank you to Hyams Garden Center for donating 18 bags of compost!!
