📚✨ A HUGE thank you to author Shawn Beach for visiting The Ferry! ✨📚
Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders had the amazing opportunity to hear a live reading of his very first book, Mission: Jam and Jelly! 🎉 This wasn’t just any read-aloud—it was an interactive adventure complete with soundscapes 🎶 and even a villain laugh-off! 😈😂 Word on the street is that 3rd grader Reagan Grimmage has one of the best evil villain laughs around! 👏👏
Every student walked away with their very own signed copy of Mission: Jam and Jelly AND his book Super Rap! 🖊️📖 What a special gift!
Mr. Beach also shared his personal journey to becoming an author, the inspiration behind his story, and even revealed his local family ties to our community. 💛🌟
We are so grateful for this inspiring and unforgettable visit. Thank you, Mr. Beach, for pouring into our Bengals and sparking a love for reading and writing! 🐯💛

📢 BFESCPA Educators on the Move! 🎭🎨🎶
Yesterday, our dedicated educators traveled to Angel Oak Elementary School for an ArtsNOW Demonstration of Learning Day! While there, they had the opportunity to network with other arts-integrated schools from Charleston County and witness live arts-integrated lessons in K-5 classrooms.
This enriching experience allowed our team to gain fresh ideas, innovative strategies, and creative inspiration to bring back to our students. Seeing arts integration in action reinforced the power of engaging students through movement, music, drama, and visual arts.
Definitely worth the drive—we can’t wait to implement what we’ve learned! #greatthingsarehappeningattheferry 🚀✨
