🐾 Throwback Thursday at Charleston Elementary🐾

💙Today, our teachers and staff celebrated a special part of our vision statement, “Proud of the Past,” with a fun Throwback Thursday! We proudly wore Charleston shirts representing the many years of history and traditions that make our school so special. From shirts dating back to when Charleston housed high school students, to old-school jerseys and newer designs, our shirts told the story of a school with a rich history and a community full of Panther pride!

💙Charleston has been a special place for generations of students and families, and we love celebrating the memories, traditions, and people who have made our school what it is today. Once a Panther, always a Panther!

📣 Now it’s your turn! Tell us in the comments what year you or a family member attended Charleston! Be sure to tag your fellow alumni!
We are proud of our past, focused on our future. Every day is a GREAT day to be a Charleston Panther! ❤️💙
