Service Learning Project for 2015-16

Due to the recent flooding in our state and the devastation that many around us are facing, Lake Carolina Elementary will participate in a yearlong Service Learning Project focused on helping those in our nearby communities. Each month we will focus on a specific need and collect items for those needing support. 

We will kick off our project by collecting school supplies during the month of November. 

Additionally, our district is collecting items to assist our Richland Two Back Pack/Food Pantry program. They are seeking specific donations from each campus to help those impacted by the flood. Richland Two is asking Lower Campus to collect muffin and cornbread mixes and Upper Campus to collect boxes of rice and pasta. Please consider adding these items to your grocery list as we will continue to collect them throughout the year. 

Stay tuned for more information to come. As always, thank you for your support of our school and community.
