School Uniform at LCE

Each spring our School Improvement Council provides a survey for our families.  The survey includes questions asking if our families support  wearing school uniforms.  Over the past 5 years approximately 75% of our community has consistently indicated on the survey that they support students wearing school uniforms.  As students get older they tend to share that they do not like wearing a school uniform so we have focused on having Fridays as a choice dress day. 

Our learning community is wonderful for so many reasons and being a “uniform school” certainly helps our success.  Many of our students are choosing not to wear a uniform so our hope is that we can find ways to encourage uniform participation.  We have a variety of uniform options for our students. Uniform shirt colors are hunter green, navy blue, burgundy, or white, as well as any school spirit wear. The uniform bottoms are navy blue or khaki. We want them to know that a uniform does look great on them.

We will not mandate that students wear uniforms but encourage our families do this.  Our hope is our families will share with their children the benefits and take advantage of this opportunity.  Thanks for your support!

Blythewood Soccer Club

Are you new to the area or have a player looking to take their game to the next level?

If so, here is your chance. As many of your know the Blythewood Soccer Club in partnership with the Sumter Soccer Club fielded 4 competitive level teams this fall and are looking to continue to grow in the spring by supplementing these rosters and possibly forming new teams. If you have a player born in 2007 to 2011 that wants more than they are getting in recreational soccer or are looking to make soccer their primary sport, we have the opportunity for you. 

The club will be having free evaluations in December for the spring season. This will be an opportunity to come out for a training session with some of our academy and select level coaches. Your player will be observed and you will be given feedback about  development and if they could benefit from such a program. It will also be a chance to ask questions about the clubs competitive programs and get information about joining for the spring season.

The difference between our Juniors program and our Academy and Select teams really is about the level of commitment. Players in these programs are normally looking to make soccer their primary sport. They are usually hoping to develop and play the game in middle and high school. Teams will get two to three practices a week including a technical session with Coerver Coaching. The other practice(s) will be team practices and focus both on technical and tactical development.  These teams play in state association leagues that would require them to play 1-3 games a week with drive times of up to 2 hours. We play in Columbia, Swansea, Sumter, Florence, West Columbia, Rock Hill, Aiken and Augusta to name a few places. All coaches are licensed and trained in the age group they will be teaching. 

Registration will be opening once we confirm the evaluation date. In the meantime, if you think your player might be interested, please contact us at info@blythewoodsoccer.com. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Finally, as we grow we are also always looking for great new coaches that have a passion for the game and a desire to share that with our players.  If you are interested, we can help you get the needed training.

President of Blythewood Soccer Club

Stop the spread of germs!

Nurse Kopp is going class by class to teach students about how to prevent spreading germs. She even shows them how many germs you remain on your hands after washing them, if you don't wash them correctly. When washing your hands, be sure to wash for at least 20 seconds. Students are amazed to be able to see the germs on their hands. Thanks Nurse Kopp!
