Lexington County School District One

Last week, students and staff at Oak Grove Elementary spent the last week of October playing literacy detectives for The Masked Reader! All week long, our young readers tuned in to daily video broadcasts featuring anonymous staff members in over-the-top, silly costumes reading their favorite picture books. With five personalized clues per reader, classrooms were buzzing with collaboration, critical thinking, and tons of giggles as students worked together to solve the ultimate school mystery. The excitement wrapped up at The Big Reveal last Friday. Mystery readers arrived live in full costume, and the entire school joined in the fun as the masks finally came off! This high-energy event was a quick, joyful reminder of what innovative literacy initiatives look like in action! #Lex1Reads #FallInLoveWithReading 🕵️‍♂️📚 @OGElementary

River Bluff High School junior Divija Viswabrahmana is turning her passion for community service into an opportunity to make a difference across South Carolina!
Viswabrahmana was named a PalmettoPride Youth Ambassador, joining just 16 students selected statewide from nearly 200 applicants.

An Eagle Scout candidate, Viswabrahmana has rallied fellow Scouts to participate in the Lakeside Litter Sweep on Lake Murray, volunteered more than 60 hours at the Lexington Main Library and earned her certification as a yoga teacher. As a Youth Ambassador, she plans to bring anti-litter campaigns to schools across Lexington One, encouraging students to take an active role in keeping their communities clean. #GraduateProfile
