<b>LADY’S ISLAND ELEMENTARY</b>

• Lady’s Island Elementary School celebrated its 50th birthday recently. Students and staff dressed throughout the decades to celebrate the event.  All students had a piece of birthday cake with their lunch. Community members were invited to help celebrate. Many were former staff or students. They were treated to a patriotic songs from the LIES Osprey Ovation. It was a fun day for everyone.

• MSgt. Terry Rawlins, Retired Air Force JROTC Instructor at Beaufort High, was asked to speak on patriotism and a love for our country.  Following  the presentation of  the American flag by the BHS Color Guard Cadets, the audience joined in singing our National Anthem and favorite American songs. Other highlights of the Patriotic Assembly were special musical medleys by the Osprey Ovation Vocal Ensemble and historical narration about American symbols.

The whole school program ended with an emotional song and power point presentation from Mrs. Dangerfield’s kindergarten students called “Thank You, Soldiers.”
