H1N1 Vaccinations
Jane Edwards Community School, along with every school in Charleston County School District, will be offering H1N1 vaccinations to our students. The vaccinations are FREE of charge for students but a Consent Form must be filled out so that your child may receive one. They will be here on Tuesday, November 24, 2009 in the morning. If you would like for your child to receive a FREE H1N1 Vaccination you must fill out the Consent Form when it is sent home and have your child bring it back. It is a one day only stop. If you have further questions, please call DHEC at 1-800-277-4687, call the school at 869-2124, or visit the H1N1 page at www.ccsdschools.com

Town Hall Meeting
December 1, 2009 6-8 pm
Come to the Baptist Hill Cafeteria to learn more about CCSD's "Excellent" Improvement rating and the increasing range of exciting school choices. In attendance will be Superintendent McGinley, school principals, other representatives, and the District 23 Constituent Board at a public meeting open to all.
It is only October and already we have students that have read 25 books! We had 3 students come close to reading 100 books last year. Maybe we will have some that will read more than 100 this year!
Reading is such an important part of their education. They read in every content area. There are word problems in math, ingredient lists and directions for experiments in science, plus the textbooks themselves for each subject. We want the students to enjoy reading and to become lifelong readers.
Here are our first 25 book readers: Mekyah Horry-4th grade, Da'yannah Megget-4th grade, Destiny Washington-4th grade, Shatabia Simmons-2nd grade, German Ventura-2nd grade, Kadejha Washington-5th grade, Skyler Matrisciani-5th grade, Brittany Langston-4th grade, Isabel Garcia-2nd grade, Michael Venegas-5th grade, Corbin Haydel-4th, Elihu Rivera-3rd grade, Dre'Shawn Brown-4th grade, Jamiya Meggett-2nd grade, Manuel Ventura-2nd grade, Koshawn Watson-4th grade, Tyrese Washington-1st grade
