Dorchester County Public Schools will be operating on a 2 hour dealy due to fog. Be safe!
Today, we held our third and final Coat Ceremony of the year!
This tradition honors students in Grades 3–5 who staff believe best exemplify the qualities it takes to ROAR to success as a Maple Lion. The Coat Ceremony is a special tradition we started this year to recognize students who demonstrate exceptional character and leadership. During each ceremony, selected students are presented with a Maple Coat as a symbol of their positive impact in our school community.
Today’s recipients were fifth graders Sameria, Efrain, and Rosalie , whose families were on hand to help celebrate them.
Staff described Sameria as a student who shines through both her academic effort and the heart she brings to our school each day. She is kind, compassionate, and always ready to lend a helping hand. A natural leader, she speaks up for others, promotes fairness, and leads by example—with grace, courage, and care for those around her.
Staff described Efrain as someone who truly embodies the spirit of a Maple Lion. He is kind, respectful, and hardworking, consistently giving his best in academics, sports, and beyond. He approaches every day with a thoughtful attitude, a strong work ethic, and a dependable presence that others look up to.
Staff described Rosalie as a shining example of Maple values—quiet strength, positivity, and dedication. She leads by example, uplifts others, and shows kindness in every interaction. Whether she’s helping a classmate or encouraging her team, she does so with a generous spirit and genuine respect for everyone around her.
Congratulations to Sameria, Efrain, and Rosalie on earning their Maple Coats! 🦁💚

With just a little over a week left of school, please help us keep our Maple Lions safe.
DROP-OFF REMINDERS
To ensure the safety of all students and staff, please follow these important guidelines during morning drop-off:
JOIN THE CAR RIDER LINE
• All car riders must be dropped off in the designated car rider line.
• Do not park in the parking lot or along the side of the road to let students out. Dropping students off outside the designated area slows down the process and compromises safety.
• Please be patient and follow the line all the way through.
STAY IN YOUR VEHICLE
• Adults should remain in their cars during drop-off.
• School staff will be on duty to assist students as needed.
• Please have your child seated behind the driver, with all of their belongings, and prepared to exit the vehicle once you come to a complete stop.
Thank you for helping us create a safe and efficient drop-off for everyone!
Today was an exciting day!

Congratulations to these Maple Lions for showing incredible courage during Activity Day!
They earned this recognition by stepping outside of their comfort zones, challenging themselves, or standing up for others. We’re so proud of them! 🦁
In Mrs. Morrissette’s media class, our 1st and 2nd graders dove into the colorful world of biographies and inventors! They explored how crayons were invented in 1903, learning about the brilliant minds behind this everyday tool.
Students learned how one creative idea can make a big difference—and then got to work with a fun STEM twist! At the tables, they teamed up for a crayon tower challenge, building the tallest, strongest structures they could using only crayons. Creativity, teamwork, and hands-on learning made this a lesson to remember!
Reminder - Tomorrow is Griffin's Day of Courage. All staff and students are encouraged to wear red. Students do not have to be in uniform if participating.
