From hospitals, law offices, and therapy providers, to natural resource conservation, the arts, and so many more – our students will be getting important real-world experience.

After finishing 1st at the SCISA Regional Spelling Bee last month, Beaufort Academy fourth grader Ledare Pingree was invited to participate in the State Spelling Bee held last week in Kingstree, SC. Ledare finished 2nd overall at the State Spelling Bee!

Last week Beaufort Academy participated in the National Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) Week (Monday, 2/9 – Friday, 2/13)! From special notes (pictured), to other surprises throughout the week for students, teachers, and administrators, for no reason other than to be kind, the students really had a great time! Pictured are 9th graders Jeffrey Hiestand and Breanna Meek.

SAINT PETER’S CATHOLIC SCHOOL

• Saint Peter’s Catholic School celebrated Spirit Week by having fun while taking donations for different charities each day. Our theme for the week, straight from the words of our Lord, “It is more blessed to give than it is to receive.” ~Acts of the Apostles
