Daniel Jenkins Academy’s students and their families participated in a unique and special experience earlier this month - a local farmers market sponsored by Charleston County School District’s Department of Nutrition Services and the South Carolina Department of Agriculture.
Each student and one of their loved ones “shopped” for the freshest produce and homegrown grains. Limehouse Produce (located in North Charleston) provided white potatoes, sweet potatoes, collard greens, peaches, an assortment of peppers, and more. Marsh Hen Mill (located on Edisto Island) provided sea island red peas, unicorn cornmeal, heirloom yellow grits, and Carolina gold rice “middlins.”
The greatest takeaways from this event were increasing awareness about these local businesses to students and their families as well as encouraging them to consume unfamiliar, healthy, delicious, and local food options.
Recipes were provided to boost creativity and inspiration in the kitchen.
During our Conflict Resolution seminars, Ms. Sylvia and DJA students, along with faculty and staff, discuss realistic challenges that our students face on a daily basis and coping skills to help them navigate and conquer those challenges.
The Elements of Social Emotional Learning
DJA students are taking full advantage of LMS's boatbuilding program. Students are exploring maritime culture and acquiring a variety of technical and "soft" skills through this initiative! Kudos to Mr. Sam and his outstanding team!
We are PROUD of our Gullah Geechee Heritage!
Principals across the nation work diligently to provide the best education and leadership possible. This month, we celebrate and honor our incredible school principal for her visionary leadership and tireless pursuit of success for each student.
Thank you, Principal Middleton!
