A

Look at all the great things happening this month in schools across the Beaufort County School District Exploring Careers in the military representatives from several branches of the armed forces are at Beaufort High School talking to students about different career Pathways, the military offers the students went table to table, asking lots of questions and learning about different job opportunities in the Army Air Force and more.

B

I'm thinking about going to the Air, Force and I also want to go into medical field and the reason why I want to go into medical field because it's always been my dream to like help. People, you know like take care of them like when they're, sick and stuff I.

C

Would like to go into the Air Force and I would like to do the medical field. I always wanted to be a nurse or a doctor, so I just love the Air Force. So why not combine both.

A

The school hosted the military style career fair as a way to expose students to different career opportunities and introduce them to different career options, as they start to think about their Futures.

D

It's very important that students learn learn about the different opportunities and careers that they have so that when they go into the world of work, they know that they will be amply employed and become viable citizens of our.

A

World the event was held in the cafeteria during all lunch periods, so students could have the opportunity to talk with the military Representatives if they chose to a unique and interactive college experience wholesale University's educational truck pulled into whale Branch, Early College, High School, giving students a behind the scenes. Look at the college inside the mobile unit. Students had the opportunity to explore several programs. The university offers by having students take part in Hands-On activities like Esports video, editing, Sound, Engineering.

E

And more I was, at the beat station, pretty much the whole time. That was a really good experience, because I've always had it in my head and I want to do something like that. But for me to actually experience it before I get to actually make. My decision really did something for me to hear the bass and like be able to make my own little beat to make it like sound good together. It.

F

Was nice I was playing the Super Mario game and the um virtual reality I feel like that? Can open like a lot of experience, I've, never seen nothing like that before, but I'm playing a game in my head, like literally it's like everything controls with my eyes. That was a.

A

Fun experience the students really enjoyed being in the truck and learning about the university. It.

E

Was actually pretty fun? I've never done anything like that before. So it was a good experience yeah. It shows you a couple different things that you could do and like past that you can go on before you get to actually make your decision so I think that that's a good little way for you to like see it in real life. So you can actually feel like that. So you can actually get the experience and see if you like it or.

G

Not so we could see more advanced things and like futuristic stuff, so we could be prepared for the future and it's just like experience new things and do like fun activities overall.

A

The wholesale University real world education experience truck offers students, five interactive stations, learning from a professional artist, Master Puppeteer Hobie Ford is at Hilton at Island School for the creative arts working with fourth graders on a special project. They're.

H

Making Lantern puppets it's an Asian style of puppet and they're illuminated inside they'll have little sticks on them, and one group is making a big mascot puppet and they're the engineering club they're doing great work.

A

The students are working hard to create their lanterns, so they'll be ready to show them off during the annual Hilton at Island Lantern parade in November.

I

First, we have to cut the shapes and like tracing its stuff, and then you have to cut it and then glue it on and then once you're finished with all that, then you have to put it on the lantern.

J

My favorite part is like cutting out is because the reason I like that is because when we glue it on and then the last part is put sticking them into the lender and it's gonna be all perfect and beautiful.

A

Ford is a Kennedy Center teaching artist and later this week, we'll be performing a show for the kids about monarch butterflies. My.

H

Focus has been animal science, specifically the metamorphosis piece, and so the show that I'll be doing on Friday here features monarch, butterfly metamorphosis, and they see the whole process almost photorealistically with puppets the.

A

Students are excited to be working with a professional artist and learning about the butterflies. It's.

K

Kind of like cool for me because I get to learn more about, like monarch, butterflies and when they're in the Chrysalis now I know how I, like the weights, get on and stuff that.

I

They can teach you how to make new paintings and become a real artist when you grow up Ford.

A

Is having fun working with the students and passing on his love for the Arts, the.

H

Thing I would hope. Most of all would come from this is that they would want to make things and be maker years, and when I was a kid working with my hands was something that got me interested in things and so I got into the Arts in high school, and it really motivated me to do well in the other classes. So I could get time in art classes and whatnot. This.

A

Project was made possible by the art center of coastal Carolina's Partners in education through the Kennedy Center Program I, like the other one, though taking a stroll through a special pumpkin patch okatee Elementary School, is holding its annual pumpkins in Disguise project having students decorate pumpkins like their favorite book characters, I've.

L

Been collecting dog man's books for a while and I've really been interested by every single story that the offer makes, because it really interestes me about how they have to try to go against different kinds of monsters and really how there's a lot of dialogue and action.

M

This is sunny from Wings of Fire and I like this book, because it's about dragons and I really like.

A

The students had fun using their artistic skills to create their pumpkins I.

N

Made a fly-eye pumpkin I made her eyeball out of foam ball for the legs.

M

I used the felt for the tail I used foam and the neck and head I also used foam for his.

L

Legs I used wood, so we saw them and cut them into his legs and then for the head. We used squash and I just painted it. The.

A

Pumpkins are all being displayed in the media center as a way to encourage kids to read our.

O

Goal is to have the students really recognize, Book characters that they've loved reading in the past, or maybe a book that they haven't seen before as they do a walk through and look at all the pumpkins and they realize oh I want to go check out that book. I want to be able to read that one now I like that character about.

A

A hundred pumpkins were created by students at okatee elementary school Ron, Lopes, Beaufort, County, School, District, hello,.

O

A

Connecting to a classroom in Germany students at H.E, McCracken and Hilton and Island Middle Schools zoomed, with a vocational school in Germany for the first ever international student career Symposium. What.

O

We are doing here is a vocational school. We do a career school where you can.

A

Learn here, our students had the opportunity to talk with German students about how they can combine being in school with training for a career. We.

O

Are all in the same class, so we are all getting our certificate.

P

Q

So I I just kind of wanted them to understand the daily life that the kids are going on, uh that they they have going on over. There I also want to know the certifications, the the different schooling that they have to do and how they can become successful in that career. Several German.

A

Students discussed their apprenticeships in the automotive industry. If you order parts.

P

For our customers, we take cars and give them advice on what kind of costs.

A

They need and answered lots of questions about their school and work schedules.

R

I thought interesting that they kind of vary with their schools as well, because they get out at certain times. It kind of depends on the person and they can work from ages, 16 and up depending on their experience. I.

S

Learned that, like they work while they do school, you know and like the schedule is kind of different and I. Think it's like a really good schedule, because you know they still do school and they still.

A

Work, the German students also asked our kids several questions about everyday school life in America and career opportunities, so.

Q

About exposing these kids to the different opportunities and different careers and get them here in the Middle grades, so they're ready to walk in the door in the ninth grade with an idea of hey. This is something I really want to do something I want to pursue, and just so that they have a broader idea of what they could do. The schools are planning.

A

To expand the international student career Symposium next semester by including vocational centers in Italy, France and Spain.

T

We are here celebrating our get moving fundraiser. Ladies Island Middle School was honored to partner with get moving this year so that we could do a Boosterthon, a run-a-thon, a walkathon, whatever our kids are interested in. That's going to get them excited about adding extra movement, so we are here celebrating all the hard work that our kids, our family members and our communities did with raising money funds donations to support. Ladies Island Middle School we've raised over 13 000, so we're already 37 above our goal.

T

We are going to take our funds and put them right back into the hands of students. Our Fun Run was designed to support our positive behavior intervention systems program. So our PBIS modules. We issue our students, Live school points. We have a cougar store. We provide them with all kinds of incentives and rewards for choosing positive behavior, and so our funds are going to go back into those programs to have really exciting incentives and rewards that will motivate students to make good choices.

T

Our motto for the school year we are cougars on the prowl. We are coming for excellence. We are getting our students to be the model citizens and by investing in character development by investing and making positive and appropriate choices and having incentives and fun activities that help promote that opportunities for students to choose the right thing and rewarding them for making those decisions is one of our really important goals. I couldn't be more proud of the students, the parents, the families and the community members of our neighborhood.

T

We're really proud that people are interested in giving back and supporting our students and our school.

A

Artwork art students from two District high schools won several top Awards in the South Carolina State Fair Student Art competition students won six total Awards. Five of the winning artists are from Hilton Head Island High School, two students placed first and second in the photography category I.

U

Took a studio portrait of my twin sister in red in blue lighting, and it was to kind of show her like sweet personality and I had like a pose that made it kind of help Express that and then the soft lighting and texture on her face. I think really helped Express. That feeling I.

V

Took a picture at the beach and I brought a mirror to it and I hung it on a tree and I took a picture of the reflection in the mirror and I thought it looked cool because in the background there wasn't very much color. But in the reflection you can see the marsh and the greenery. So it kind of stood out like the reflection stood out from the background students.

A

Also won three Awards in the 2D drawing category a student won Best in Show, but this charcoal portrait and two other students, one first place in honorable mention for their work. I.

W

Did a self-portrait and colored pencils and then I did it in red light, so I challenged Myself by doing a monochrome piece. It was very detailed and it was in one color. So it's more challenging to do. I did a.

X

Drawing an ink drawing of a ship in the ocean and I used a traditional calligraphy pen, so I think all the details and intricate lines really I enjoyed, making them and I think they stood out.

A

This may River High School student also won first place for artwork. She submitted in the art of the Camellia category I've.

Y

Been working on photorealism, so I was just trying to make it look as much like the picture, as I possibly could, which I think that appealed to them, because I was trying to make it look as real as possible. More.

A

Than 2 000 students from across the state entered artwork into the competition for the Beaufort County School District Ron Lopes, celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month Hilton Head Island Middle School has been making special morning announcements having students, share information and facts about the Hispanic culture as well as famous Hispanic people. He.

Z

Is a Puerto Rican descendant I feel like it's really beautiful coaching. We can research about different things and different people like Selena or Romeo Santos and other really important, Hispanic.

A

People, the hallways of the school in several classroom doors, are decorated for Hispanic Heritage Month, it's celebrated from September 15th to October 15th, and it recognizes the achievements of Hispanic people everywhere. The students have been taking part in several educational activities and also had the opportunity to talk with some people who recently took a missionary trip to Ecuador as.

AA

An IP school we would like to connect with the students we want. The students to be open-minded, knowledgeable and the best way to be knowledgeable and open-minded is to meet people from different cultures and have conversations with them and talk about things and learn from them.

A

The students really enjoyed learning about the culture and traditions in Ecuador, as well as the foods people eat there. I.

AB

Think it was interesting that they ate the fried guinea pigs, because here they're pets and they're in their they just eat them. It's interesting, I.

AC

Found something that was interesting about the culture was that for New, Year's, Day average from straw and other like building materials, make like a stroller puppet thing and then they'd blow it up. They set things on fire, too, represent them. Moving from the past to the.

A

New Year several students from the school will also be taking part in the opening ceremonies of the La Isla Music Festival on Hilton Head Island on October 16th. Creating a new perspective on art students at Robert, Smalls, International Academy are learning about one point: perspective and I wrote in the hallways, using tape to sketch out their designs. We did.

AD

Buildings and we did it like a strip mall and with a sidewalk and a parking lot on the other side, it was actually kind of hard because the tape you have to cut it at exact points and we would try to cut right up where it needs to get cut. We.

AE

Did a road with a sidewalk, but it was more of like a 3D sidewalk, with kind of like a sunset in the back, and it was very difficult trying to get the tape to make like trying to get. The tape in the middle was really hard and then trying to get it to curve in the right way was really difficult. Having.

A

Our students create their designs on a wall, really challenges their creativity, taking.

AF

It to the wall force them to be a little bit more engaged and I think they picked up the principles of it, a lot more than they did just working with a ruler on paper. They couldn't fudge any lines because the lines were longer. You know a little mistake made a big difference, so they had to use their yardsticks. They had to make sure that they understood all of the principles in order for it to look right.

A

Before students could start their projects, they had to decide where to place their vanishing point. A.

AE

Vanishing point is like a DOT that on the paper that shows you where you need to like connect all your lines to the corners, it just gives you an easier place to make your format and.

AD

Things get water as they come out and narrower as they go in smaller as they go in thicker that they come.

A

Out this project is helping the students learn new art techniques, they'll use in the future, while.

AE

Knowing what a vanishing point is a horizon line is, and all that stuff you can use those things for other projects to make your projects better and better. Every time by adding on what you know, students.

A

In sixth, seventh and 8th grade all took part in the one point perspective project speaking up and spreading the word on serious issues made River High School held its annual social issues, gallery walk students taking freshman English classes, presented their projects to teachers, parents and other invited guests. My.

AG

Topic is about animal abuse. I picked animal abuse because I personally love animals and I hate to see them get abused, I see it on like Instagram or like social media, saying that they get abused and that like really breaks my heart.

AH

My topic is overpriced. Medication I chose epipens, because I've heard that you can like spend at 700 on an EpiPen and I. Think that's like really expensive and also I, see like commercials for, like insulin and stuff like that and Insulin will be like 250 dollars and you have to get a prescription and you can't get like a generic one or change it up. So, like that's pretty expensive and I think it should change.

AI

My project was about air pollution and how it affects people and I. Did this because I want people to see that to make a change they have to stop, they have to stop polluting. They have to stop supporting these factories topic.

AJ

Is about overpopulation I wanted to divide my board in two sides? Is the people the real program or is the resources, the real problem, the.

A

Semester-Long project is teaching students, research writing and public speaking skills. Some.

AH

Skills I've learned is like use, multiple, different websites and stuff and if you're not sure on something, you should like double check it and make sure that you have your perfect grammar and punctuation and stuff like that doing.

AG

These type of things, I get more experience of like talking to other people and then like being able to express myself better more.

A

Than 200 students presented their Topics in the media center, the school will host the event again next semester for freshmen taking English in the spring. Designing a flock of posters, Beaufort, High, School's digital publication design class is creating posters for the Frip Island Audubon Club. The students were asked to make posters to help attract new bird enthusiasts to come. Take part in pop-up bird outings in the area I.

AK

Love these projects they're under, uh even though it's digital Publications side, it's under a conservation heading and I, try to make them aware that conservation is important and that it's also a big business so that if they are artistic and if they care about nature, they can actually have a job for a non-profit like Audubon, where they can get paid to do all the creations of the marketing things that they've done for class rip.

A

Island Audubon Club gave the students images as well as specific information. They wanted included on the posters, the students use, Photoshop and other programs when working on the project. I.

AL

Use canva for my poster because they have different templates and stuff and you can like choose pictures on there. I included a bunch of pictures like pictures of birds and areas on verb islands in the background and then I had two areas on my poster that had space for details and information, I.

P

Used the Frip, L and Audubon colors color scheme, the the teal light blue, green and the the saturated Brown is the border and the teal green as like the main color. Since that's how it was in the logo and then I used the bird from the Audubon Society logo. The.

A

Students use different Design Elements when making their posters using.

P

The horizontal and vertical typing tool, the kerning and spacing between text and other objects, I.

AK

Love looking at the work, one of the things my classes provide is the ability to not be the cookie cutter type of turnitin and everybody looks the same. Everybody in there is different. What's in their head is different and the way that they would artfully arrange a poster is going to be different.

A

All the posters will be given to the fruit Island Audubon Club, soon to be used to help promote their upcoming events.

A

A special homecoming week last week, Hilton Head Island High School celebrated its 2022 Homecoming by focusing on honoring the memory of a former Seahawk. Throughout the week, students took part in several homecoming activities and raised more than six thousand dollars for the newly created Timmy vadela scholarship fund Timmy was a school counselor at Hilton, Head high and passed away in July from cancer. She.

AM

Impacted a lot of the lives here at our school, our students, our staff, and we wanted to keep our memory alive. So we we kind of tied the two together because he wanted to preserve her memory, but also start some New Traditions. So we thought by doing the fundraising this week, we can create a scholarship fund for a senior that meets the criteria that our guidance department will eventually set out and create during.

A

Homecoming students took part in several themed dress-up days. There were cornhole matches a three-on-three, basketball tournament, Powder Puff Games, a pep rally and more the students had lots of fun during the week and also remembering their school counselor I.

AN

Think it's quite amazing the fact that that a lot of people, even though they didn't know her I personally, not knew her, and she was a very nice person to me and I feel like she will like the thought of that they still, even though they didn't know her, they will raise so much money on her name.

AO

I think she would have felt pretty Autumn, because even after the worst, there was still some way for her to help students around the school. The.

A

School is also planning other ways to remember. Tammy.

AP

The senior class is going to donate a plaque that will be held in putting guidance, so we'll be able to keep her memory alive. And even if students didn't know, her they'll always feel an impact of what she gave to the school.

AQ

Each year, school and education and the students were her top priority and when Miss Lee came up with the idea, along with the SGA I thought, it was an excellent idea from the guidance standpoint, because I knew how hard and dedicated she was to Hilton Head high school, and she would definitely want the best for the students.

A
