Swimmer Receives Scholarship
|
Congratulations to Connor Marshall, who recently received the Carolyn Keller Invitational Scholarship. The Carolyn Keller Invitational Scholarship was developed in honor of Carolyn Keller, a swim teacher that inspired students for almost 30 years. The scholarship in her memory is for a swimmer who has participated in one of the Carolyn Keller Invitational Meets that has demonstrated both a love of swimming and servant leadership on her or his team, campus and/or in the community with financial resources to help defray educational expenses. The scholarship is open to two seniors involved in swimming who participate in the Carolyn Keller Invitational Meet.
Connor is pictured with Carolyn Keller's mother and brother in the photo above.

Update on 2014 Spring Break Trip to England, Scotland, & France
|
We're going to England, France, and Scotland for Spring Break! If you would like details about the itinerary and cost, go to www.eftours.com and type in tour #1229635.
Students from any grade are welcome. On this tour, students will gain an understanding of history and culture throughout the ages. Edinburgh's medieval castle recalls Scotland's royal traditions, while the scenic landscapes of Stratford, Chester, and the Lake District give a glimpse of the rural life. In London and Paris, students will discover impressive monuments and museums that reflect two world powers. Our last 2 days will be spent exploring WWII history along the D-Day beaches of Normandy.
If you have questions or would like more information, please let us know. You can contact us at Mary_Altman@charleston.k12.sc.us or call 810-1291.
Thanks,
