October is National Principals Month. Today, we celebrate Laurens Elementary School Principal Ashley Bragg and shoutout her 5-Star Qualities as a school leader.
Mrs. Turner's third grade class had a Zoom call on Monday, October, 28, 2024, with one of Auburn University’s basketball players.
Primary Montessori had a special visit today from Mrs. Kelsey’s brother in law, Justin Pelfrey. Justin has been a full time firefighter for 17+ years and currently serves in Anderson County and is a volunteer firefighter for Gray Court Fire Department. The class learned all about his gear, the importance of fire safety like stop, drop and roll, as well as having a fire plan with your family. Students also learned what to listen for if they are ever in a fire and were reminded to never hide from a firefighter, to rather yell “help!” or “over here!”
We are sharing an early reminder. We call on eligible citizens/registered voters to vote.
Thank you, Laurens Community, for helping us raise funds to recognize our teachers and staff.
