School-Community Partnerships

Jane Edwards Elementary is fortunate to be located in a gracious and giving community. These organizations have partnered with us to make memorable moments for our students. 

Begin with Books Chapter

There is an active Begin with Books chapter in the community. This provides a book each month for each child from birth through age four. Books are mailed to each home.

 
Jumpstart’s Read for the Record 

We annually participate in Jumpstart’s Read for the Record designed to be the world’s largest shared reading experience. Each classroom gets the book to add to their class library, teachers receive lesson plans to support the book, and the Edisto Librarian frequently reads the book to the students. We try to make a big day of it.

 
Volunteers

Numerous volunteers give their time each week to read with students. Reading in our student-crafted boat is everyone’s favorite.  If you would like to volunteer for our school, please complete the CCSD Volunteer Application.
