Thank you for your continued support — we can’t wait to welcome everyone back soon!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our last Family Literacy Night of the school year! We had such a great time watching The Wild Robot together. We’re excited to hear what our students think—and how the movie compares to the book!
A huge thank you to United Way of Pickens County for your continued support in making these nights so special. Thanks to their generosity, each family went home with two incredible books: The One and Only Ivan and The One and Only Bob.
We’re already looking forward to more fun events this summer and into the next school year—stay tuned!
It was Yearbook Signing Day at East End!
Our students had a blast flipping through memories and collecting signatures from friends and teachers. What a fun way to celebrate the year!
A huge thank you to Mrs. Gardo and Mrs. Simmons for their hard work and dedication in creating such a special yearbook for our students. We are so grateful for all the time and love you poured into it!
Camp Second grade is underway. We are having so much fun learning in themes these last few weeks. Yesterday was dino-rrific too! We dug for dinosaurs.

Our final Pup Tales of the year was taco-rrific!
We had so much fun reading Dragons Love Tacos and making breakfast tacos together. Every student went home with a taco and their very own dragon — what a delicious way to wrap up a year of reading fun!
A big thank you to Pickens County Women United for sponsoring our Pup Tales books this year. Your support means the world to us and our young readers!
Shoutout to our amazing PTO!
Y’all have truly spoiled us—Chick-fil-A biscuits yesterday and Boujee Beverages today! Thank you for making our staff feel so appreciated and loved this week. We’re grateful for everything you do!
🌟 Happy International Nurse’s Day! 🌟
Today we want to give a huge shoutout to our amazing school nurse, Jennifer Collins, for everything she does here at East End Elementary! 💙
Nurse Collins is the calm in the chaos, the Band-Aid queen, the temperature taker, and the comforting voice when our students (and staff!) need it most. Whether it’s a tummy ache, a scraped knee, or just a hug and a little reassurance, she’s always there with compassion, care, and a smile.
Thank you, Nurse Collins, for being the heartbeat of our school and keeping our Bulldog family healthy, safe, and cared for every single day. We appreciate you more than words can say! 👩⚕️🐾💉🩺
Today we would like to thank Ms. Ashley Dobson from APD Photo and the PTO for providing teachers with a sweet treat from Crumbl cookie. We also loved our tumblers and gift from the School District. We love our East End Staff!
Today we honored our first year teachers and mentors. Our very own, Mrs. Morrow, was nominated for Outstanding First Year Teacher of the Year. We appreciate all that these teachers do for East End.
We are incredibly grateful to Rock Springs Baptist Church for the delicious lunch and beautiful setup in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week! From the thoughtful sign and fresh flowers to the homemade meal, every detail made our staff feel truly seen and celebrated.
East End families—this is a great time to lift up your child’s teacher! Consider sending them a kind email, a sweet handwritten note, or even sharing a positive comment about the difference they’re making in your child’s life. A little encouragement goes a long way!
🍎 Happy National School Lunch Hero Day! 🦸♀️🦸♂️
Today, we give a big shoutout to our incredible East End lunch staff who work hard every single day to make sure our students are fed with love, care, and a whole lot of smiles. From early morning prep to the last tray washed, you make lunchtime special—and we are so grateful for all that you do.
Thank you for being true heroes, serving up nourishment and kindness every single day. We appreciate you more than words can say! 💚🍽️💪
🎉 Happy National Principal's Day! 🎉
Today we celebrate the BEST principal around — Mr. Brewington! Your leadership, kindness, and dedication make East End a place where students grow, teachers thrive, and families feel welcomed. Thank you for being a calm in the storm, a cheerleader for success, and a steady guide through it all.
You go above and beyond every single day — whether it's greeting students with a smile, encouraging your staff with just the right words, or making decisions that always put children first. Your heart for education and love for our school is felt in every hallway.
We appreciate all that you do for us. East End is better because of YOU! 🐾💙📚
Each year, schools across South Carolina create a “Report to Parents” to highlight accomplishments and share goals for continuous improvement. Our dedicated School Improvement Council has worked hard to prepare East End Elementary’s Report to Parents, and we are excited to share it with you! We appreciate their time, effort, and commitment to our school community.
