Students from B-L High School traveled to the coast on Tuesday, December 17th to perform at the Carolina Opry. The group, comprised of students from the BLHS chorus and BLHS musical theatre department, sang beautiful Christmas music for the pre-show entertainment.
Our AVID students at B-L High School recently traveled over to B-L Primary School to read with some of our second grade students. This is an annual event that unites our oldest Panthers with some of our youngest Panthers! Students enjoyed good books, hot chocolate and cookies together. What a great holiday tradition!
The B-L High School chorus sang at the local Chamber of Commerce meeting this morning at Shealy's BBQ. They performed numerous festive songs and helped get everyone in the holiday spirit!

On Wednesday, November 13th, our schools came together to celebrate World Kindness Day with meaningful activities across each campus. At Batesburg-Leesville Primary School, students created a “kindness chain.” Each student wrote down an act of kindness—whether it was something they did, received, or imagined—on colorful paper links. These links were used to create class chains which were then joined together to form a vibrant, school-wide “kindness chain” that will be displayed proudly in the cafeteria. Batesburg-Leesville Elementary School celebrated with "sprinkles of kindness." Students wrote down their acts of kindness on paper “sprinkles,” which were then added to giant paper cupcakes displayed at the end of each grade level's hallway. At Batesburg-Leesville Middle School, students created a confetti wall by writing down kind acts or quotes on colorful “confetti” pieces, which were then displayed on a central bulletin board to inspire others. Finally, at Batesburg-Leesville High School, two students were chosen at random for being spotted doing acts of kindness, celebrating the power of kindness in action. A special thanks goes out to our counseling departments for heading up these efforts in Lexington Three! Remember to always be kind!
This past Saturday, the B-L High School JROTC teamed up with VFW Post 6740 from Leesville to conduct a fundraiser for local veterans.

Great job students!
