Ashmore Elementary School -

Today was a bittersweet day at Ashmore Elementary. Today we said goodbye to Miss Gail, who knows all the students by name, knows all of their likes and dislikes, is always ready with a hug or a silly hat to bring a smile to our faces. Miss Gail is off to bigger adventures, but she will always have her Asmore family ❤️💛 #ashmorecusd1 #goodbyesarehard #goodluck #wewillmissyou

Thank you to all those that came out and supported Ashmore students at their Winter Concert tonight! Ashmore Elementary packed Swickard Auditorium tonight and showed their great community spirit! Special thanks to Ms. Evans for organizing and leading students for a fun filled night of music! #ashmorecusd1

On Veterans Day, Ashmore Elementary invited those who have served our country to eat lunch with our students. There was a display in the hall to honor the veterans in our community as well. Thank you for your service! #ashmorecusd1 https://youtu.be/_2MSk3sg0uQ

Thank you, Officer Schwenke for coming in and talking to Ashmore students about intruder safety.

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!
