Spartanburg District 2
Making A Difference For Students Every Day.
Our Spartanburg School District Two Summer Reading Camp (SRC) and Summer Learning Academy (SLA) are underway!
Both programs, welcomed students on June 1. Kelly McLean, an assistant principal in our district, is heading up the SRC based at Carlisle-Foster's Grove Elementary School.
"At SRC students work in smaller groups, so they get more intense instruction," McLean said. "When they come back to their home schools in August, they are more likely to remember how to put words together to make sentences and how to write stories, because they had that on going support for 5 weeks here at SRC."
Emily Brown, an interventionist at Boiling Springs Elementary, is guiding the SLA campus at Chesnee Elementary School.
"Our mission at SLA is to ensure our students to feel safe and loved as we are intentional about pushing them to new academic heights. Our weekly themes of perseverance, citizenship, courage, responsibility, and respect will be woven throughout our daily activities to encourage not just academic success, but also social and emotional growth.," Brown said. "We are excited to partner with families and our community as we celebrate the accomplishments and growth of our students this summer. "
Combined, the SLA and SRC will see more than 400 students receive top tier instruction from more than 70 staff members . McLean said this shows the commitment in our district to Making a Difference for Students Every Day!
"This program would not run without the teachers that are willing to devote their time in the summer. Here they are pouring into kids!"

Near the end of the school year, our Together-for-2 Committee led a district-wide effort to collect donations for the Spartanburg Humane Society. Through the efforts of committee, which is made up of employees from all of our schools, and the incredible generosity of our entire D2 Family, hundreds of pounds of food and other much-needed supplies were collected. #D2DifferenceMakers
Today, those goods were delivered to support the mission of the Human Society.
"Seeing an entire school district come together to help the animals at the Spartanburg Humane Society is far more than a donation drive to us — it is a powerful reminder that compassion, kindness, and community are still being taught, modeled, and lived every single day," said CEO Angel Cox. "We are deeply grateful for your leadership and for a district that is teaching the next generation the value of empathy and service."
"Thank you so much to District 2 for the big and generous donation! As a non-profit, we rely heavily on donations and getting a big influx of supplies allows us to focus our financial efforts to other imperative aspects of our operation like the clinic and the dog behavior program. It means so much to the shelter that the kids of District 2 are such selfless leaders giving back to the community," said shelter manager Joshua Pope. "It is acts like these that keep our operation running, and these students have a DIRECT effect on our animals getting adopted and finding their forever homes. We can't thank you enough!"
