B-L Middle School Principal Sharah Clark was surprised on Wednesday, February 23rd with an award from the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. She accepted the award on behalf of her school since one of her teachers, Mrs. Tristin Padgett, was named as the South Carolina winner of the Smart/Maher VFW National Citizenship Education Teacher Award back in January. Pictured from left to right are Tristin Padgett, Principal Sharah Clark and SRO Charles Holloway (who also serves as the VFW Post 6561 Quartermaster).
The B-L Middle School Beta Club finished up a community service project on Valentine's Day by delivering bagged care packages to every resident of Generations, an assisted living facility in Batesburg-Leesville. The bags contained items such as candy, lotion, brushes, combs, lip balm and puzzle books. Pictured are BLMS Principal Sharah Clark and Addy Lynn Ruff, Secretary of the BLMS Beta Club.
The Lexington Three administration team delivered doughnuts to all of our campuses today to show Panther faculty just how much we care for them...not just on Valentine's Day, but every day!
We cannot thank our staff members enough for all of the love that they pour into our students throughout the year.
Happy Valentine's Day!

It's Bus Driver Appreciation Week and we want to give a special shout-out to all of the men and women who are up way before the sun rises and get home sometimes long after the sun sets because they're safely transporting our students to and from school, athletic events, competitions, matches and more.
We salute you and thank you for your dedication to our Panther students!
