Employees and volunteers who assisted with our summer meal program were honored last night at our Lexington Three Board of Trustees meeting. From June 12th through July 24th a total of 55,004 meals were distributed at various locations in Batesburg-Leesville including Batesburg-Leesville Middle School, Leesville Gardens, Ramblewood Apartments, Creekview Apartments, and Faith Lutheran Church.

The National Weather Service is forecasting that a line of severe thunderstorms will be passing through our area starting this afternoon (Monday, August 7th). Part of this forecast includes damaging wind gusts in excess of 60 to 70 miles per hour. These conditions could affect the safe operation of school buses as the South Carolina Department of Education does not allow buses to operate when wind gusts are greater than 40 miles per hour. As a result, Lexington Three will be dismissing all of its students one hour early today. Click to read more: https://www.lex3.org/article/1193230
