Ashmore Elementary School -

November 1st kicks off Ashmore Elementary’s annual Leader in Me food drive. We were lucky to have Mr. Foster from the Charleston Food Pantry come in and talk to the students about why we collect the food and who benefits from it. Students will be tracking to see how much food we can raise and the class with the most will get a celebration! Let’s Begin With the End in Mind and raise some food! #ashmorecusd1

Ashmore Elementary rewarded K-4students that earned all A/E’s for first quarter with a pizza party with Mrs. Brown. Thank you Ashmore students for all your hard work!

Ashmore Elementary celebrated fall parties and dressed up for our annual Halloween parade Friday afternoon!! #ashmorecusd1
