Bullying
October is National Bullying Prevention Month, and
the Beaufort County School District has planned activi-
ties to help increase school and community awareness
about the negative effects of bullying. We are also en-
couraging each school to offer preventive and inter-
vention strategies to counteract bullying.
On October 20th , schools in Beaufort County and
across the nation will recognize National Bullying Pre-
vention Day. We ask that you begin immediately en-
couraging all students to wear orange on this day.
Please share photos with Jim Foster or Carizma Brown
for our district website and social media pages. The
Beaufort High School drama team’s presentation of
“See Something Say Something” will be shared with
sixth-graders across the District during the week of
October 17-21, 2016.

Dear Parents,
The 4th grade, 5th grade, and OES Chorus’ performance’s date has
changed and will be presented on November 17th and 18th. The
theme for this years concert is DECADES and we have not only been
singing songs from various decades, but we have also been looking at
what made each decade so interesting! We ask that you mark your cal-
endars and attend this totally rad performance.
Information for performers:
Please plan to dress in your favorite decade– please pick from the
ones studied in class (60’s, 70’s, 80’s or 90’s). Now is the time to find
your costume!
All music lyrics and a sample video of the songs can be found on
google classroom. Please make sure you are practicing!!!
More information will come out closer to the performance. Make sure
to check your child’s agenda book and Friday Folder.

Our students were treated to Bubble
performance on October 21st, by our
fabulous PTO. As you can see the
students had a blast and we were told
by the presenter, Jason, that the stu-
dents were an awesome audience!
5th Grade students will have an opportunity to work with
Alana Adams, the Senior Director of Education of
Arts Center of Coastal Carolina, on November 2, 3, 4, &
7. Students will be creating a phytoplankton or zoo-
plankton design by using a graphite direct trace transfer
for the outline and then placing it onto a scratch board.
They will talk about the difference between line and
shading as well as how to make different textures using
line. Out of the students finished works several will be
chosen to submit to the district for their annual publica-
tion of The River of Words book.
Schedule
Wednesday, November 2– Mrs. Brown’s Class
Thursday, November 3– Mrs. Heaton’s Class
Friday, November 4– Mrs. Pope’s Class
Monday, November 7– Mrs. White’s Class
Special thanks to Mrs.
Bauer, PTO, and all of the
Volunteers that came to
talk to our students about
their careers. The stu-
dents had a great time
learning!
Fall is in the air!! The kindergarten students went on a trip to Holiday
Farms Pumpkin Patch on Thursday, October 27th. During our visit, each
student saw a real pumpkin patch and picked out their very own
pumpkin to take home with them. Students also participated
in several fun activities and went on a hay ride.
Fall is Pumpkin Time! It is also a great time of year to explore the parts
of a plant through the theme of this memorable orange fruit. At the Caw-Caw Interpretive Center we'll scoop
seeds, role-play plant life cycles, and have fun decorating a pumpkin to
take home.
