Sullivan's Island Elementary
At Sullivan's Island Elementary, we aspire to build a vibrant learning community where meaningful discourse thrives,
academic success is celebrated, and leadership is nurtured in both students and staff. 🌱
Rooted in curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking, we believe every student is a scientist, eager to question, explore, and discover. 🔬🧪
Together, we’ll create a culture that values voice, honors growth, and inspires a lifelong love of learning. 💡📚❤️
Seining in the Atlantic
SIES students are getting their hands—and feet—wet right outside our back door! 🌊🦀🐟 With the net in hand, our students are seining in the sea and discovering the amazing creatures that call our local waters home. You never know what you might catch! We love that at SIES, learning can happen right in our own backyard. 🌴🔎
SIES Fish Tanks
At SIES, learning is always just a little more exciting when you can get up close with the creatures you’re studying! 🐟🌊 Our four fish tanks and touch tank each represent a different South Carolina aquatic habitat, giving students the chance to observe, explore, and learn about the amazing wildlife found right here in our own backyard. Our students love checking in on their underwater friends each day! 💙
Science Lab
We believe every child is a scientist! 🔬🌱 Our students visit the Science Lab once a week with their classroom teacher and one of our science lab teachers, where they get to explore, investigate, ask questions, and discover how the world around them works.
From hands-on experiments to observing live animals and exploring South Carolina’s unique ecosystems, our science learning is all about curiosity and discovery. We love giving our Skimmer Scientists opportunities to get their hands dirty, think like scientists, and see that science is happening all around them! 🐟🌊🧪
Seussical the Musical
SIES students in grades 4 & 5 take center stage each year for our annual musical! From rehearsals and learning lines to singing, dancing, and performing, students work together to bring a memorable production to life. It’s a wonderful opportunity for our students to shine, build confidence, and share their creativity with the SIES community. 🎭🎶
Benny Awards
Lights, camera, literacy! 🎬🏆 SIES rolled out the red carpet for our first annual Benny Awards, celebrating students who showed excellence in reading and writing. With plenty of excitement, recognition, and Oscar-worthy flair, our students truly were the stars of the show!
Spartina Replanting
Seeds to Shoreline 🌱🌊
Our 3rd graders got their hands dirty as they grew and replanted Spartina grass to help replenish and protect our local marshes. Through this hands-on experience, students learned how an important native plant helps support healthy coastal ecosystems—and how their small efforts can make a big difference in protecting our shoreline!
