There were tons of smiles at B-L Primary School this morning as students and teachers brought their favorite characters to life in the school's annual Book Parade! From whimsical wizards to courageous superheroes, our halls were filled with the spirit of imagination and adventure! A special thanks to all of our Panther families who braved the rain to come and support our students!
Due to the forecasted heavy rain this Wednesday, March 6th the B-L Primary School Book Parade is being moved back to the school (it was originally scheduled to be held at the B-L High School track). The parade will begin at 8:45 am. Parents may view the parade in the BLPS cafeteria. We appreciate your support and patience as we try to accommodate all of our Panther families!

We hope everyone who attended had a wonderful time and left with their holiday spirit a little brighter!
B-L Primary School's 4K students ⭐️wowed⭐️ onlookers yesterday with their amazing "floats" during the school's annual Box Parade. This event is always a favorite during the holiday season as students get to put their creativity on full display!
Lexington Three hosted its first ever Farm to Table event on Saturday, December 2nd at B-L Primary School. Select families were invited to attend the special farmers market where they received a $60 voucher to obtain items such as local honey, gallons of milk, sweet potatoes, pecans, peaches, grits, peas, butternut squash, tomatoes and so much more! Families also received food recipes that they could make with some of the items and could even sample the recipes! Our school nurses were also on hand with great health info as well. A special thanks to our Food Services Department for organizing the event and to the SC Department of Agriculture for providing the funding. What a great example of Panthers helping Panthers!

B-L Primary and B-L Elementary Schools were recognized by the SC Department of Education today for their efforts in prioritizing physical education and physical activity. Ben Miedema, the Education Associate for Health and Physical Education for the Office of Assessment & Standards, presented certificates to Mrs. Mowry and Coach Bouknight from BLPS and Coach Evans and Ms. Yaworski from BLES. Both of these schools were among those that met the Students Health and Fitness Act requirements for weekly minutes of physical education and physical activity during the 2022-23 school year.
Congratulations! #lexington3istheplacetobe #beapanther #pantherstrong

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
