Congratulations!
Congratulations to this week's CCSD, "Unsung Educator of the Week", Carolyn Grant, Day Porter, Buist Academy Knights
"Carolyn puts her heart into building relationships with faculty, parents, and students alike. Ms. Carolyn always has a smile to pass on and a remark to make us laugh.
She treats the faculty to lunch, sponsors events for students, makes note of student needs, and quietly ensures they are met. She is gracious yet humble."
Students earned Crown Day (wear a hat) and Movie Day due to the amount raised this week.
