🌟 Exciting News from B-L Primary School! 🌟 We are thrilled to announce that BLPS's very own art teacher, Livi Crowell, has been selected as a WLTX News 19 Teacher of the Week!

Ms. Crowell is in her second year of teaching in Lexington School District Three and we couldn't be more proud of her dedication and passion for shaping young minds through art. Join us in congratulating Ms. Crowell on this incredible achievement! Be sure to watch WLTX News 19 today at 5 pm to see her video!
Students at B-L Primary School had a blast today with their winter-themed STEAM Day! Creating snowmen out of yummy treats ⛄️ and making snow ❄️ were just a few of the assignments on the schedule today. Check out more pics on our Facebook page!
First and second grade students at B-L Primary School put on a fantastic holiday show last night at the Lexington Three Fine Arts Center. There was even a guest appearance by Mrs. Clause (aka Principal Tillman), a reindeer dance performed by the teachers and Pawley the Panther showed up in a sleigh! We hope everyone who attended had a wonderful time and left with their holiday spirit a little brighter!
B-L Primary School's 4K students ⭐️wowed⭐️ onlookers yesterday with their amazing "floats" during the school's annual Box Parade. This event is always a favorite during the holiday season as students get to put their creativity on full display!
Lexington Three hosted its first ever Farm to Table event on Saturday, December 2nd at B-L Primary School. Select families were invited to attend the special farmers market where they received a $60 voucher to obtain items such as local honey, gallons of milk, sweet potatoes, pecans, peaches, grits, peas, butternut squash, tomatoes and so much more! Families also received food recipes that they could make with some of the items and could even sample the recipes! Our school nurses were also on hand with great health info as well. A special thanks to our Food Services Department for organizing the event and to the SC Department of Agriculture for providing the funding. What a great example of Panthers helping Panthers!

Let's just say that the shine party at B-L Primary School last night was a ✨glowing✨ success! A special thanks to the BLPS PTO for sponsoring the event and to everyone who attended!
B-L Primary and B-L Elementary Schools were recognized by the SC Department of Education today for their efforts in prioritizing physical education and physical activity. Ben Miedema, the Education Associate for Health and Physical Education for the Office of Assessment & Standards, presented certificates to Mrs. Mowry and Coach Bouknight from BLPS and Coach Evans and Ms. Yaworski from BLES. Both of these schools were among those that met the Students Health and Fitness Act requirements for weekly minutes of physical education and physical activity during the 2022-23 school year.
Congratulations! #lexington3istheplacetobe #beapanther #pantherstrong

The National Weather Service is forecasting that a line of severe thunderstorms will be passing through our area starting this afternoon (Monday, August 7th). Part of this forecast includes damaging wind gusts in excess of 60 to 70 miles per hour. These conditions could affect the safe operation of school buses as the South Carolina Department of Education does not allow buses to operate when wind gusts are greater than 40 miles per hour. As a result, Lexington Three will be dismissing all of its students one hour early today. Click to read more: https://www.lex3.org/article/1193230
