The North Charleston Cultural Arts Department’s artist-in-residence Lori Isom visited Ladson Elementary School during the week of December 5th. Ms. Isom worked directly with fifth graders during her entire 12-hour residency. She taught students basic drawing skills and how to critique their artwork. Students greatly enjoyed working with Ms. Isom and at the end of the residency had completed two wonderful works of art to add to their portfolios.
Congratulations to Ms. Robyn Powers for being selected by Office Max to highlight a teacher in the community!!
Ms. Powers name was turned into Office Max for being our Teacher of The Year for 2010-2011. Her name was picked and Office Max came to our school on October 4, 2011 to surprise her. She was presented with a plaque and a lot of teaching goodies for her and her class.
Congratulations Ms. Powers!!
