🐯🧡💙 Our Tigers Have Heart—and Food to Share! 🥫
Our food drive for Clemson Community Care is going strong! We’ve already collected TWO TRUCKLOADS of donations, and our Tigers are still going! 🚚🎉
There’s still time to join in! We’ll be collecting non-perishable food items through Friday, and the grade level that collects the most will win a SUPER-SIZED RECESS! 🎉
This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to give back, spread kindness, and make a difference in our community. Let’s keep those donations coming and show Clemson Community Care just how much heart our Tigers have! ❤️🐯

Owl Pellet Investigations in Third Grade! 🦉🔬
Third-grade students have been exploring animal adaptations and habitats through science and narrative writing. This week, they put their science skills to the test by dissecting owl pellets! Students investigated what owls eat and discovered how examining the remains can help scientists learn more about an owl’s diet and habits. They then used their discoveries to support their writing and bring their learning to life!

A vision for the future is becoming a reality!
On October 26, 2026, the SDPC Board of Trustees gathered at the Gateway to Innovation construction site for a special dedication recognizing their visionary leadership and commitment to this exciting new chapter in Career and Technical Education.
A plaque installed in the building’s lobby honors the Board for the vision and forward-thinking work that have helped bring Gateway to Innovation to life.
This project represents SDPC’s commitment to Visionary, Future-Focused Innovation and creating meaningful opportunities for students to explore career pathways, discover new interests, and develop skills for future success.
Gateway to Innovation is scheduled to open in January 2027, welcoming school groups during a soft opening in the second semester. A grand opening celebration will follow, giving the community an opportunity to see the new facility firsthand. Be on the lookout for more details!
We’re grateful for the leadership that continues to move our district forward and excited for what Gateway to Innovation will mean for students and our community.
