Positively Impacting Shanklin Students

​

 

....And With Your Help, We Can Do So Much More!

 

In 2024, SC Department of Education scorecards showed JS Shanklin Elementary School rose two ranking levels over the past 2-3 years. This is a tremendous improvement and as Principal Elizabeth Rivera stated was "... a true team effort from everyone at our school - teachers, staff, students, families, and community members.”

​

Several signature programs at JS Shanklin are making this result possible and are supported by Friends of Shanklin donations and volunteers:

• Emerging Scholars after-school program

• Special learning tools for math

• Volunteers helping in the classrooms and after school to tutor reading and math

• Experience trips that expose students to the world beyond Burton while reinforcing what they are learning at school

• Annual book giveaways providing free books to students to encourage reading

​

​Our programs are having a positive impact on the students' academic life and understanding of the world.

​​​

Your generous donations have provided much needed funding for our efforts. Your investment of your time and talents by volunteering to work with students is helping students not only improve their academic performance but also gain mentors who model the importance of learning.
