Congratulations to . . .

Ashley Fripp's special education class at Ebenezer Avenue Elementary School on being one of two state winners in the BlueChoice HealthPlan of South Carolina "Walking Works" competition.

Passes to High Schools' Athletic Events

District employees are reminded that by using their district ID badge, they will gain free admission to all regular season athletic events that are held in Rock Hill Schools. The only time the badges cannot be used for admission is during football season when our high school teams play each other.

 

Fundraising Initiative at Dutchman Creek

District employees are invited to enjoy a great breakfast at Applebee's (on Dave Lyle Blvd.) this Saturday, Jan. 12, and help the 8th graders at Dutchman Creek Middle School raise funds for their annual trip to Washington, D.C. The breakfast will be held from 7-10 a.m., and tickets will be $6.50 in advance or at the door.
