The Student Government at Crown Leadership Academy is hosting a food drive for The Lowcountry Food Bank.

Every day, the Lowcountry Food Bank is leading the fight against hunger in our community. Their data and experience indicate that food insecurity remains a severe problem in coastal South Carolina, impacting nearly 10% of our neighbors.

Crown's Student Government wants to do its part to help in that fight. We will be collecting non-perishable food items for the entire month of November.

The student government will take a field trip at the end of the month to drop the donations off! The collecting will begin today and end on November 30th (Thursday). The collection boxes will be in the front of the school by Mrs. Candice's desk and Mrs. Hannah's homeroom.

“But remember, boy, that a kind act can sometimes be as powerful as a sword.”

NAME THAT BOOK!!!

Middle and High School students visited the Charleston's Historic Dock Street Theatre to see Percy Jackson. We're so grateful to share such wonderful experiences with our students and to the parent chaperones who make these trips possible.

What is STEAM? STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics. Crown is a STEAM-certified school-- you will see each one of these areas represented on Thursday, November 9th, from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm.

This event is for both Mt. Pleasant & North Charleston Campuses! All grades will be involved in this fun and exciting evening. We will have exciting exhibits like an aquaponics demonstration, a crime/forensic scene, and even a working catapult. The students have been working so hard to prepare for this evening, so please join us as we behold all of their hard work.

Pizza and drinks will be available for sale, so don’t worry about dinner!

High School English worked hard this quarter researching Shakespeare’s life and works. Students created a visual timeline of his accomplishments and added a few Shakespearean Insults for fun.

The next step in this project is researching the next play they’ll read and choosing a character to focus on.

Aside from the obvious benefits of physical activity and mental stimulation outside of the classroom, being part of a team fosters character growth. Students have the opportunity to establish a strong sense of self-esteem, responsibility, cooperation, discipline, respect, and teamwork, all of which are invaluable skills for any leader.

LET'S GO LIONS!!

Last week, our 2nd and 3rd graders visited the local library. There is something so magical about exploring the children’s section of the Library. Early trips encourage children to learn what type of books they like and become lifelong readers.
