We love bringing creativity to life at The Den! 🎨🐻 Yesterday, members of The Links, Incorporated visited our art studio to work with Ms. Kinard’s 2nd grade class for a hands-on ceramics lesson! 💚 Our young artists learned how to create pinch pot bowls and used their creativity to decorate them with unique patterns and designs. The excitement was everywhere as students shaped their clay into beautiful works of art! We can’t wait for next week when they’ll paint and complete their clay masterpieces—stay tuned to see their finished creations! 🖌️ #TheDen #NorthAikenElementary #HandsOnLearning #FutureArtists #CommunityPartnerships

Today, we proudly Purple Up in support of our military-connected students and families.

To our military families, thank you for your service, your strength, and the many sacrifices you make. We are honored to serve your children and celebrate them not just today, but every day.

"Purple up" with Aiken County Public Schools on Friday, April 17th, as we combine Air Force blue, Army green, Navy blue, Marine red, Space Force blue and Coast Guard blue and wear PURPLE in a demonstration of support for the families of those who serve.

Help us honor the month of The Military Family by showing your support for the families of those who serve by wearing purple and thanking a military family for their bravery and service below. Make sure to tag us in your Purple Up posts!

In ACPSD we are committed to supporting every military child and ensuring they feel seen, valued, and connected no matter where their journey takes them. Visit our Purple Star webpages which provide easy access to resources, support services, transition tools, and important information to help every child thrive.
