Congratulations to the Royal Fun Run logo design contest winner, Katja Berrouet.
The Buist Academy Foundation has kicked off the largest fundraising campaign of the year. The fundraising concludes with students participating in the Buist Academy Royal Fun Run on Friday, October 20.
The event will be held at Tiedemann Park, where students will run/dance/walk, take a class photo, and enjoy Kona Ice provided by the Buist Foundation. We are all excited to show our school spirit.
The school-wide fundraising goal is $50,000!
We have reached our 1st goal of $5000! Students have earned a hat day for tomorrow, October 10, 2023.
The address of your child’s personal fundraising webpage can be found by going to WWW.BUIST.MYFUNRUN.COM. Click “Donate to Participant,” then enter your child’s first or last name.

Do you know a student who is taking ACTION in their community? Action is an integral part of the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. It is an opportunity for students to make a significant contribution to their local and global communities. It is a core component of student agency and offers learners the ability to see that they can not only make a meaningful contribution to the world around them but also be change-makers.
Please email us if you would like to share how your student is taking action in their local communities.
We will feature students on our Lights, Camera, Take Action- Bulletin Board.
Emails can be sent to Noelle_Blaney@charleston.k12.sc.us
Thank you to all who participated and made our city a cleaner place!
