🍎 Please join us in welcoming Mackenzie Dorr to Laurens School District 56! Mackenzie will be teaching at Eastside Elementary School, and we are excited to have her join our team. Welcome to the District 56 family! ❤️

We’ve been busy with several camps this summer—out GT Arts camp is still going strong and our Cursive Handwriting Camp at Joanna-Woodson winds down today! Students have been busy with fun learning activities!

These students were all smiles today and excited for a day of fun summer learning at Eastside!

Throwback to the beginning of last school year! 📚✨ Dr. O’Shields was surprised when South Carolina State Superintendent Ellen Weaver stopped by his classroom for a visit. She also spent time at Clinton Middle School visiting several classrooms during her tour. Thank you, Superintendent Weaver, for taking the time to connect with students and staff! 👏

These littlest ones are enjoying camp at MS Bailey this week! We love seeing all of their smiling faces and excitement about coming to school next year!

Today was the first day of our Summer Reading Camp and we had 65 campers attend! We have some fun activities planned for this group so stay tuned!!!

Congrats to the CHS baseball team on being state champs! We are proud of your hard work! Go Big Red!

GBR. 🏆⚾️

Graduation for the Class of 2026 is a wrap!! It was a perfect ceremony, the BEST one we’ve had in a loooong time! Thank you to our attendees for being respectful during the entire ceremony. Every graduate’s family was able to proudly hear each name called and then we all celebrated together at the end! What a great ending to the school year!

Graduation starts soon! The ceremony will be streamed on the District website!
