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!

We are so, so grateful for the nonprofit organization SOLE Stepping and all of the volunteers who came out to B-L Elementary School on December 5th. Smiles were plentiful as each of our third, fourth and fifth grade students received a brand new pair of shoes for free as well as a handwritten note of encouragement. What a great day in Lexington Three!

Literacy Night
8th grade students in Mrs. Lindsay's science class at B-L Middle School have been working super hard the past few weeks on projects that answer the question "Can genetics save the world?" They were tasked with designing a GMO product that hasn't been invented yet that meets a global need. On Thursday, November 30th, they had to pitch their ideas to a group of pretend investors. (Similar to the tv show Shark Tank!) The end results left everyone speechless as students proposed some very creative ideas!

Our schools are rocking and rolling following our week-long Thanksgiving break! Over at B-L Middle School, students are enjoying having the SC Farm Bureau Agriculture Learning Lab at their school today. The Learning Lab teaches students about important South Carolina commodities and how many of them go from the field to our plates. The lessons are aligned to state learning standards, so students are able to apply math, science, English and social studies principles to agriculture.

Students in Mrs. Shealy’s, Mrs. Norton’s, and Mrs. Smith’s classes are participating in Clemson University’s Expanded Food & Nutrition Education Program. Through this six week program, students have the opportunity to participate in hands-on, interactive lessons that teach the importance of healthy habits. Students will learn to choose healthy snacks, develop healthy eating habits, increase physical activity, and practice safe food handling. These classes provide real-world examples and background knowledge for students that tie to the South Carolina State Science Standards.
