We are thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new K-Kids Club Charter! This special club features selected 3rd-grade students who will work together to learn the value of service & spread kindness throughout our school and community.
A big shout-out to Mrs. Sarah Rodenbeck, our dedicated 3rd-grade teacher, for stepping up as our K-Kids Advisor. We’re also incredibly grateful to Frank Holsclaw and the Kiwanis Club of Pawleys Island for sponsoring this wonderful initiative. 🙌
💡 What is K-Kids Club?
K-Kids Club provides young students with the opportunity to start their service journey. From understanding the needs of their school and community to developing key life skills like teamwork, communication, and empathy, this program equips students to make a real difference.
By planning and completing acts of kindness, our K-Kids will learn how to lead, collaborate, and create meaningful change—all while practicing compassion and discovering their unique talents. We can’t wait to see the amazing acts of kindness our K-Kids have planned in the coming months. 💙✨
