Happy Flag Day!
Fun Fact! The current 50-star flag was designed by a 17-year-old student for a school project in 1958! He originally received a B-, but his grade was changed to an A after President Eisenhower chose his design.

Summer is the perfect time to reflect on where we've been and where we're headed. Part of that reflection starts with one simple question: Why?
Every substitute has a story, a purpose, and a reason they choose to show up each day for the students they serve. This summer, we're excited to spotlight those stories in our new series, "Why I Sub."
Thank you, Tawana, for sharing your "why" and for the impact you make every day. Stay tuned as we continue highlighting the incredible people who help support our students and schools!

Nothing beats Field Day fun! Our Laurens District 55 team had the best time spending the day with Gray Court Owings School and joining in on all the excitement.
Pictured below are recruiter Zion and building-based substitute Ms. Jackie enjoying the festivities, along with a photo of Zion on the water slide. Honestly, we can all take a page out of Zion’s book and embrace our inner child a little more this summer!
Thank you Gray Court Owings for letting us be part of such a fun day!
