Please consider picking a pumpkin from our Giving Tree in the main office.  It's a way to assist our families during the holidays.  Please let Mrs. Lawrence, in the office, know the pumpkin you select.  All items need to be turned in to the main office by Friday, Oct. 27th.

Major's artwork is currently featured at the SC State Fair. It was submitted by his former art teacher, Mrs. Green at Caughman Road Elementary. Mrs. Green called the art room at Brennen to announce this honor and we are so excited for him!

Mr. Shorter's class reviewed sentence structure with Jenga blocks. They had a lot of success reviewing but also a lot of falling towers!
