🧪 Mixtures & Solutions in Action! 🥣🧃
Science was extra tasty today! We explored mixtures and solutions by making our own Chex Mix and creating juice using concentrated flavor drops. Students got to see firsthand how the ingredients in a mixture keep their own properties, while the concentrate dissolves in water to form a solution.
Nothing beats learning while eating a tasty snack! 🔬

What does it mean to be a CEP school?
Hagood Elementary participates in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), which means every student receives breakfast and lunch at no cost each school day!
Here’s what that means for your family:
✅ No meal application is required. There’s nothing for parents or guardians to complete.
✅ Save time and money. Skip packing a lunch and let us provide nutritious meals each day.
✅ Support student success. Research shows that students who eat school breakfast and lunch are more likely to arrive on time, stay focused, and be ready to learn.
✅ No meal account money is needed unless your child chooses to purchase extra entrées or à la carte items.
We’re proud to provide healthy meals that help fuel learning and success for every Hagood Eagle! 💙🦅
For more information about the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), visit:

Today, the School District of Pickens County celebrated the grand opening of our SDPC Academy for Early Learners, a milestone in our commitment to experiential learning and innovative approaches to early childhood education.
District leaders, Board of Trustees members, community partners, educators, and special guests gathered to celebrate this exciting investment in our youngest learners. The event featured a performance by Sweet Potato Pie Kids, remarks from district leaders and project partners, and concluded with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Liberty Primary School, where our Pre-K students helped officially open the doors to their new learning environment. Guests then toured the newly completed immersive classrooms, experiencing firsthand how these thoughtfully designed spaces will spark curiosity, creativity, and discovery.
Designed around learning through exploration, play, and hands-on experiences, the SDPC Academy for Early Learners encourages students to ask questions, solve problems, and build foundational skills in engaging, meaningful ways.
Last year, one immersive classroom opened at each of our four hub schools: Six Mile Elementary, Hagood Elementary, East End Elementary, and Liberty Primary. This summer, the remaining classrooms were completed at each site, creating a fully immersive Academy experience for every Pre-K student as they walk through our doors next week.
The SDPC Experience begins here. We can't wait to welcome our newest learners into classrooms designed for wonder, exploration, and endless possibilities.

🎉 75 YEARS OF IMPACT 🎉
For 75 years, the School District of Pickens County has been more than a collection of schools - it has been a place where students discover their passions, build lasting relationships, and create memories that shape their futures.
Throughout this anniversary year, we’ve celebrated the people, places, and programs that have made SDPC special by sharing stories from across our schools and community.
Now, those stories come together in one place.
📖 "75 Years of Impact: Past. Present. Potential." is a commemorative magazine that celebrates the legacy we’ve built and the Experience SDPC that continues to make our district unique.
Inside, you’ll find the moments, milestones, and voices that reflect who we are - and the commitment that continues to guide us as we engage students today and empower them for tomorrow.
