Teacher Cadet Maddi recently brought history to life at Buford Elementary with an engaging, hands-on lesson about Eli Whitney and the cotton gin!
Students didn’t just learn - they experienced it. Using real cotton as a prop, Maddi encouraged student groups to explore, touch, and brainstorm how the cotton gin changed the way cotton was processed and impacted society.
This interactive lesson, titled “King Cotton,” sparked curiosity, critical thinking, and meaningful discussion in the classroom.
We are so proud of our Teacher Cadets for creating memorable learning experiences and inspiring the next generation! 🍎✨

Firefighting students completed a "control a pressurized flammable container fire" training. They improvised by using a metal stack in place of a container. Students had to flow water onto the tank to keep it cool from the uphill and upwind side with a 30 degree fog pattern to keep flames away from the valve while the commanding officer guides them in to shut off the valve.

🚔 The Ambush Club’s March presentation was led by Sergeant Matthew Beach of the Rock Hill Police Department’s Public Integrity Unit.

He also spoke about self-motivation, maintaining high expectations for yourself, building strong employment skills, the importance of community involvement, and why integrity is a must-have quality in both life and leadership.
Thank you, SGT Beach, for taking the time to invest in the young men of the Ambush Club and for sharing your wisdom, encouragement, and real-world perspective with our students. Your words made a meaningful impact! 🚨
