**IMPACTful Moments with Superintendent Dr. Bethany A. Giles**
This week’s IMPACTful Moment was one I experienced literally through all five senses!
Georgetown Middle School invited me to experience “Exploring Learning Through the Five Senses” at their Sensory Museum. From the moment I walked in, I was curious about all the different stations. The atmosphere had the look and excitement of a carnival, but as I joined the students in the activities, I quickly realized that each station was intentionally built around sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste.
Ms. Jenny Cox, Media Specialist, shared that the Sensory Museum was designed to give students meaningful opportunities for exploration, communication, sensory engagement, social interaction, and functional skill development, all in a fun and supportive environment. Through collaboration between the library and special education classes, students were learning, creating, interacting, and having FUN!
But what made the experience even more IMPACTful for me were the student helpers. Watching them lead activities, encourage their peers, and show such genuine care and kindness was special. They weren’t just helping with the activities, they were having an IMPACT on someone else. Now THAT is IMPACT!
Thank you, Georgetown Middle School, for inviting me to share in this experience.
And to have a phone conversation on a landline AND use a rotary dial phone?!
Learning, kindness, fun, and a little nostalgia-definitely an IMPACTful Moment!

This week, our Joint Leadership Team spent some time talking about leadership impact.
We used **Honk! Driving with Soup** by Ryan Taylor, read aloud by Tabitha Brown, to help us think about how we show up for one another and the impact we have on the people around us.
One thing I know for sure is that our leaders are carrying a lot. Every day brings new challenges, decisions, conversations, and responsibilities. But what stood out to me this week is that they are carrying it with care.
Hearing our leaders share how the start of the school year has been, the goals they have for their schools, and what they want to accomplish for students was impactful. You could hear the commitment in their voices.
We have a lot of work ahead of us, and our ultimate goal remains the same—improved outcomes for every student. But how we get there matters too.
So, as we continue this journey together, a simple reminder:
Be kind. Show up for each other. Lead with care.

**IMPACTful Moments with Superintendent Dr. Bethany A. Giles**
It has been a busy week, but a very IMPACTful week!
It was filled with so many moments that I could have captured. I have, however, chosen my Leadership Walk at Carvers Bay Middle STEAM Academy as this week’s IMPACTful Moment.
When I entered the front office, I was greeted with kindness and that continued as I walked and talked with the Building Manager. I was able to stop in and observe a collaborative planning session focused on meeting our students where they are and taking them to the next level.
Isn’t that what it is all about?! Guiding students to their pathway to success. I believe every student deserves a pathway!
Interestingly, I rang the doorbell to enter a classroom and was greeted by David, who gave me an insightful explanation of the learning taking place and even offered for me to sign in and join them.
Continuing my walk, I was fortunate to see our wonderful GCSD painters. The halls were bright, clean, and looking great, a definite photo-op moment! And they know my favorite color for sure!
I certainly appreciated a moment to say thank you to our SRO on duty, A. Sierra. And lastly, lunch was ready to be served and smelled great!
This IMPACTful Moment once again reminds me that Every Role. Every Student. Every Day. makes a significant IMPACT on improving student outcomes.

GCSD is helping the next generation of educators G.R.O.W.!
Last Friday, ProTeam and Teacher Cadet students from across Georgetown County School District came together for the GCSD G.R.O.W.S. event—an opportunity to explore careers in education and learn more about the many pathways to becoming an educator.
Students heard from GCSD Rookie Teacher of the Year Aaliyah Jones and Coastal Carolina University professors Dr. Heather Hagan and Dr. Jessica Richardi before participating in a panel discussion driven by questions students submitted about careers in education. District educators and leaders joined the conversation to share their experiences and perspectives.
The afternoon continued with representatives from CERRA sharing information about colleges and pathways into the teaching profession, followed by an interactive activity to wrap up the day.
The event brought together 105 students from Georgetown, Waccamaw, Andrews and Carvers Bay high schools, as well as Carvers Bay and Rosemary middle schools.
Made possible through funding from the CERRA-SC Teacher Recruitment Grant and collaboration among GCSD, CERRA and Coastal Carolina University, GCSD G.R.O.W.S. is another way we are investing in students today while building the educators of tomorrow.
That’s IMPACT—Inspiring, Motivating, Preparing, Achieving, Connecting and Transforming!

**IMPACTful Moments with Superintendent Dr. Bethany A. Giles**
This week’s IMPACTful Moment comes from my recent Leadership Walks.
During Leadership Walks, I have the opportunity to see teaching and learning in action, engage with students and staff, and experience the many pieces that come together to shape each school day.
As I drive onto each campus, the IMPACT of our Facilities Maintenance team is noted immediately. From keeping our schools functioning and responding when repairs are needed to helping maintain and beautify our grounds, their work touches every school, every day—even when we may not see it happening.
To the members of our Facilities Maintenance team: Thank you for the pride you take in caring for our schools and facilities. You help create places where our students and staff can learn, work, and be successful. Your work makes an IMPACT, and I appreciate all you do for #TeamGCSD.

**IMPACTful Moments with Superintendent Dr. Bethany A. Giles**
Each week, I have the pleasure of participating in conversations with members of #TeamGCSD. On Wednesday, two conversations in particular hit differently and have stayed with me.
In the first, an administrator reflected on an interaction with a Pre-K student and said something that really stuck with me: “I thought I was having the IMPACT on him, but it turns out he was having the IMPACT on me.”
In the second, a teacher shared something seemingly simple, yet powerful: “The best we can do is show up every day.” She added, “The small things matter.”
There is so much truth in that.
Show up. Every day.
Show up for our students. Show up for our schools. Show up for our coworkers. Show up for ourselves.
Because it matters.
We don't always get to see the IMPACT we are making. We may never know which conversation, lesson, smile, word of encouragement, or simple act of being present makes a difference in someone's life.
And sometimes, we may think we are the ones making the IMPACT, only to realize that someone else has made an IMPACT on us.
That is what makes #TeamGCSD so special. We never know where the IMPACT will come from or how it may come back to us.
So, my reminder to myself and to #TeamGCSD is simple:
Keep showing up.
Every role.
Every student.
Every day.
Kindness Wins.

This week’s IMPACTful Moment is one that makes me especially proud of #TeamGCSD.
I was so delighted to receive this update and photo. This week, 101 students officially began their journey as members of the USC School of Pharmacy Class of 2030, including three Georgetown High School graduates from the Class of 2024. Congratulations Mackenzey Smith, Addisyn Jones, and Neykisse Gilliyard. What an incredible accomplishment!
Over the past several weeks, I have also had the privilege of talking with several of our recent graduates as they prepared to leave for college and begin their next chapter. We also salute those graduates who are entering the military or beginning their careers in the workforce.
Different paths. Different dreams. But each one represents the IMPACT of years of hard work, determination, and preparation.
As a school community, we are incredibly proud of these young adults. And we should also be proud of the teachers, counselors, administrators, support staff, families, and countless members of Team GCSD who played a role in helping prepare them for what comes next.
Our work is reflected in every test score, every diploma, and every opportunity our students are prepared to pursue after they leave us. Our collective IMPACT is seen in the lives they go on to lead and the difference they go on to make.
To our graduates: We are proud of you. We believe in you. And remember—you will always have a home and a school community that is cheering you on.
Congratulations to these students, and to the parents and families who have supported, encouraged, and celebrated every step along the way.
Every Role. Every Student. Every Day.
That is IMPACT.
