PCA Vocalist Performs at Carnegie Hall
One of our PCA Vocalists and Seniors, Dorian Daney, was accepted into the High School Honors Performance Choir this past fall. Last month, he had the honor to sing under the direction of the esteemed director, Andre Thomas, in Carnegie Hall. Daney pursued this application on his own with Mrs. Mears’ recommendation and guidance with the music. Additionally he was interview by the Richland Two Communications department and WIS. Congratulations Dorian. We are so proud of you. Please click the image to view the WIS Soda City broadcast.
Calling All Juniors & Seniors
Your Help Is Needed
Did you know that 64% of Richland Two students are designated as pupils in poverty. This isn’t just a statistic – it represents real children who may go hungry on weekends when school meals are not available. Our local food pantries and community partners are currently stretched thin, struggling to meet the growing demand as food costs continue to surge and families face increasing economic challenges. So your help is greatly needed.
The Backpack Program ensures that students have nutritious meals during times when they might otherwise go without. Your donation can make a direct and meaningful difference in a child’s life – providing not just food, but hope, dignity, and the energy they need to learn and grow. Suggested items include individually packed oatmeal, grits, muffins, or cereal, instant muffin or pancake mix, and shelf-stable milk. Please consider donating one or more of these items to our district Backpack Program. All donations can be dropped on the table set up on the first floor of R2i2 (763 Fashion Dr, Columbia, SC 29229) just inside the main security doors.
