As we celebrate Thanksgiving, let's also take a moment to celebrate the huge donation our school was able to make to the Belair Food Pantry through our Clemson/Carolina food drive! Well over 1000 canned goods were donated! Carolina was the winner by a landslide! Clearly we have some future Gamecocks in the building! Thank you to Mrs. Morgan's class for helping bag and load all of the cans! Great job Tomahawks!
Last week at the 'Burg, representatives from American Legion Post 31 out of Lancaster visited to present our school with a new American flag in honor of Veterans Day. Mrs. Nicoletti's and Ms. Wilson's 4th grade classes learned the proper way to present and fly a flag, how to fold the flag and proper flag etiquette. Next time you're on campus, take a look at the flagpole! Our stars and stripes are shining a little brighter! Thank you to JC Dawkins and all of the members of American Legion Post 31 for this generous donation and for coming to visit our school! We love having heroes like you on campus anytime!
Our little turkeys had a great time at the 1st annual Harrisburg Turkey Trot! As a school, we ran a combined 1,621 miles. Wow!!! A huge ThAnK YoU goes out to all of the wonderful parents and PTO volunteers who made signs, provided supplies and most importantly showed up to cheer on our students as they ran. This could not have happened without their support!

Check out this weeks Tomahawk of the Week, Mrs. Mckenzie Kuppireddy!
Mrs. Kuppireddy is Harrisburg's hidden gem. She not only does an amazing job connecting with her students, meeting their educational needs, and managing a million different expectations- but she also gives her students the space to explore and grow in their creativity. Mrs. Kuppireddy gives her students the space to work collaboratively where I have seen them communicate, problem solve and work together to create some amazing class masterpieces. She encourages their interests and ties them into their lessons. She listens to her students on their level and connects with them each personally. The classroom community she has created is kind, caring, fun, loving and full of fun capybaras. Mrs. Kuppireddy blows me away everytime I step foot into her class. Her students LOVE learning. Her classroom is inviting. Her smile is welcoming. She is truly a gem. A gem that we are blessed to call our own!
Congratulations, Mrs. Kuppireddy! As this week's winner, you will receive a $25 gift card to Super Chix in Indian Land! Thank you Super Chix for your support!
