📚✨ Thank You to Our Real Men Read Participants! ✨📚
On Friday, November 13th, we proudly celebrated another powerful literacy event in Jasper County — Real Men Read!
A huge thank you to every gentleman who took time to visit Hardeeville Elementary and Ridgeland Elementary to read with our scholars. Your presence, your stories, and your encouragement were instrumental in instilling the joy of reading in our students.
Our scholars lit up with excitement as they listened, asked questions, and connected with positive male role models from across our community. Moments like these truly show the impact that community partnership can have on a child’s love for learning.
📘 Your participation supports our districtwide literacy movement — One Jasper Reads: 30 for 30!
As we continue encouraging students, staff, families, and community members to read 30 minutes during the school day and 30 minutes outside of school, events like Real Men Read help build the strong culture of literacy our children deserve.
Join the Movement!

📚 Challenge Accepted in Ms. Kasarda’s Class! 💪
Students in Ms. Kasarda’s class recently took on a special “Challenge Accepted” activity — and they rose to the occasion! The task: use all six new vocabulary words in one short paragraph that made sense and demonstrated understanding.
Nine students accepted the challenge and proudly presented their creative paragraphs to their classmates. 👏
