From Coach Barron' Desk:

"Yesterday the boys and girls' cross-country teams traveled to Moncks Corner to participate in the Stags Stampede hosted by Berkeley High School.
It was our best performance of the season against some great competition! Our girls’ team finished 3rd overall out of 17 teams and earned a trophy. The boys placed 11th out of 18 teams. For the girls, we placed 3 runners in the top 20, including Baliee Jordan (7th Place), Peyton Wilder (10th Place) and senior Hayden Schumacher (14th Place).

Sullivan Bryan (7th Grade) also had a stronger performance yesterday.

The next meet will be at home next Tuesday, October ,6 as we hosted the Georgetown County Championships (County Quad).
Go Bulldogs!"

THE STATE OF OUR CHILDREN
Where We Stand and How We Can Improve

The Bunnelle Foundation will host...

THE STATE OF OUR CHILDREN

Thursday, October 8, 2026
5:00 – 7:00 pm

First Baptist Church Fellowship Hall
219 Cleland Street, Georgetown, SC

Data presented by:
Children’s Trust of South Carolina

Join us for an engaging conversation about the State of Our Children in Georgetown County.

We’ll take a closer look at what the data is telling us about our children, with KIDS COUNT data presented by Children’s Trust of South Carolina along with local data from the Georgetown County School District.

We’ll also hear from a panel of community professionals representing economic development, mental health, and inclusion as we explore what the data means for our community.

But we don’t want to stop at the numbers.
What can we do – together – to help our children thrive?

Come ready to listen, learn, and leave with meaningful action steps that each of us can take to strengthen outcomes for children across Georgetown County.

Dinner will be provided. We hope you’ll join us and be part of the conversation!

💰🐷 SEPTEMBER 30 — KEEP IT GOING!

SAVING IS A HABIT! 💰💪🏾

Georgetown Middle School, it's time for another CU Save Collection Day! 🐷💵

Did you save a little? That's GREAT! Every deposit counts! 🙌🏾

Keep building those savings and learning how to make your money work for YOU! 💚💙

🧵✂️ Sew much learning happening in the GMS Library! ✂️🧵

Our students have been busy bringing their Book Sleeve Project to life! They measured, cut, and ironed their fabric pieces and then it was time to tackle the sewing machines! 🪡

We were thrilled to welcome Georgetown community seamstress Irene Rice as our special guest. Mrs. Irene introduced students to the basic parts of a sewing machine and taught them how to sew straight lines and make turns. Before sewing their fabric, students practiced on paper to build confidence and get a feel for controlling the machines.

A HUGE thank you to Mrs. Irene, who will be spending the next few days working alongside our students as our very own seamstress-in-residence! We are so grateful that she is sharing her time, talent, and expertise with us. ❤️

These students did an amazing job, and next up…assembling those book sleeves! 📚🧵
