Welcome to Lexington School District Two, where Champions for Children is more than a just a theme. It is a leadership standard. It represents how we make decisions, how we support one another, and how we create learning environments where every child is known, valued, supported, and challenged. Our district is committed to building Destination Schools — schools where families choose to be, students are excited to learn, employees are proud to serve, and the community sees excellence in action.
We love seeing student work and artwork displayed throughout our hallways and in our classrooms!
🔵✨ Making our mark together! ✨🔵
Yesterday for Dot Day, Mrs. Caughman joined Mr. Siedschlag’s students for a read-aloud and hands-on STEM challenge, where students used toothpicks and DOTS candy to design and build their own structures.
In Mrs. Ward’s class, she guided her students in making their mark through colorful dot art using dot stampers! Then, Mrs. Caughman joined them for a read-aloud and dot-shaped Fruit Loops.
In Mrs. Ward’s classroom, students enjoyed a read-aloud, dot-shaped Fruit Loops, and created colorful dot art with stampers.
From building to creating, our Falcons showed that there are so many ways to #MakeYourMark! 💙

It has been a fantastic day of being creative, having courage, and collaborating for International Dot Day! Be sure to check out Fulmer's social media handles to view soon-to-be posted photos and learn about the ways in which students learned about Dot Day and enjoyed lessons/activities center around the theme of the book, The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds.
All week, students will be able to participate in the Dot Guessing activity where they can record their guess of how many small gum balls are in the jar.

Last week, Fulmer’s school library teamed up with a Youth Services Librarian from the Cayce-West Columbia Branch Library (CWC) for a special lunchtime collaboration in celebration of September being Library Card Sign-Up Month!
During grade-level lunches, students enjoyed their lunch in the library while learning about the many programs, resources, and reading opportunities available through the public library system. Students could also pick up a FREE library card application to take home to a parent/guardian. Completed applications can be returned to Mrs. Caughman, who will get them to CWC for processing and help get those library cards back to students!
And because learning can is fun, students put their language skills to work with a few rounds of Library Mad Libs, identifying nouns, verbs, adjectives, plural nouns, and more!
📖 Students who would like a library card application can stop by the Fulmer library to pick one up. There are plenty of opportunities to discover something new at both your school library and your public library!

Case File: The Missing Water!
Sixth Grade Science students became cell detectives as they worked together to solve their “Cell Mystery Case.” By analyzing organelle suspect profiles and examining clues, students used their knowledge of cell organelles and their functions to determine who stole the water from the vacuole!
Along the way, students practiced identifying important information, collaborating as a team, and putting their science knowledge to the test. Case closed!

Monday-Thursday: Chromebook functionality will be suspended from 10 p.m.-6:30 a.m.
Friday-Sunday: Chromebook functionality will be suspended from 8 p.m.-9 a.m.

Help us get to know Officer Smoak, one of the friendly faces helping keep our Fulmer Falcons safe each day!
When she’s not serving our school community, Officer Smoak enjoys watching true crime documentaries, hiking and camping, and baking with her sourdough starter, Yeastie Boy (the 2nd)! He helps her make delicious cookies and, sometimes, delicious loaves of bread.
She is also a proud dog mom to five pups: two grumpy little poodles, one giant goofy poodle, a smart little mutt who looks like a fox, and a goofy golden retriever!
Officer Smoak and her husband have been married for 17 years and have three children, ages 20, 16, and 13. Her husband is active in the South Carolina Army National Guard. As a family, they enjoy hiking and camping, often taking overnight hikes along the Foothills Trail near Clemson. Their goal is to one day section hike parts of the Appalachian Trail—though convincing the kids to join when cell service is limited can sometimes be a challenge!
Officer Smoak brings plenty of experience to her role, with 18 years as a police officer. Before that, she served as a Military Police Officer in the active-duty Army and South Carolina National Guard for a total of 12 years.
We are thankful to have Officer Smoak as part of our Fulmer family!
