Book Fair has been WONDERFUL. Thanks to our students and families for purchasing so many books. These purchases help our school buy more books and plan programs like author visits! We did have some students ask for the NEWEST books, so you can preorder these favorites here.

🌸✨ **What a Dolly Day!** ✨🤠

We loved seeing our Wildcats decked out in pink, denim, sparkles, and cowboy boots as we celebrated Dolly Parton! 💕👢✨

A HUGE thank you to Ms. Foreman for treating our staff to an extra-special snack cart! You made our day even sweeter! 🩷🍿🍬

And thank you to everyone who donated new or gently used children’s books to support Lowcountry Orphan Relief! 📚❤️ We are so grateful for your generosity and can’t wait to share our official book count next week!

What a fun day of celebrating kindness, books, and a little Dolly sparkle! 💖🎶

Way to shine, Wildcats! ✨🐾

❤️💙 WILDCATS, WE’RE BACK FOR ANOTHER HEART-HEALTH CHALLENGE! 💙❤️

Whitesides is excited to be participating in the Kids’ Heart Challenge again this year! 🎉 Last year, our Wildcats showed just how big their hearts can be - we finished as the #4 fundraising school in the entire state! 🏆👏

And a HUGE shoutout to Miles Moore, who was our #1 fundraiser at Whitesides last year! 🌟💙

Now it’s time to see what we can accomplish this year! Our current Kids’ Heart Challenge is happening NOW through October 2, and we’d love for all of our Wildcats to get involved. Every act of kindness, every healthy choice, and every dollar raised helps make a difference. ❤️

Let’s come together, Wildcats, and make this another incredible year for the Kids’ Heart Challenge! 🐾💙

Let’s show them what a Wildcat heart can do! ❤️💙

✨ DOLLY PARTON DAY IS COMING! ✨

Get ready to sparkle, Wildcats! 💕 On Friday, September 25 ("9 to 5"), we’re celebrating Dolly Parton Day at Whitesides and all over CCSD! 🎶

Students can dress up and show off their Dolly-inspired style — think denim, cowboy boots, fringe, rhinestones, and LOTS of sparkle! 👢✨🤠

📚 Spread Dolly's Love of Reading!
We are also collecting new or gently used children’s books to donate to Lowcountry Orphan Relief. Help us share the gift of reading with children in our community! 💗📖

Let’s make Dolly proud and show that Wildcats have big hearts! 🐾💙
