Greatness - Service - Family
As we head into the Thanksgiving season, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt appreciation for each of our Green Sea Floyds Elementary families. Our school’s vision—Greatness, Service, Family—comes to life every day because of the support, kindness, and partnership you show us throughout the year.
We are grateful for the greatness we see in our students as they learn and grow, for the spirit of service that shines through in our school community, and for the strong sense of family that makes GSF Elementary such a special place.
Thank you for trusting us with your children, supporting their education, and working alongside us to create a school where every child feels valued and encouraged.
From our school family to yours, we wish you a joyful, safe, and restful Thanksgiving holiday filled with love, laughter, and gratitude.
Happy Thanksgiving, GSF Family!
We are excited to share some outstanding news with our school community! The South Carolina Department of Education has released its annual school report card ratings, which evaluate schools across the state in areas such as academic achievement, student progress, school climate, and more. Schools can earn one of five ratings: Excellent, Good, Average, Below Average, or Unsatisfactory.
This year, our school is proud to announce that we have earned an Excellent rating—for the second year in a row!
This accomplishment reflects the hard work and dedication of our students, teachers, staff, and families. An “Excellent” rating is the highest rating a school can receive, and earning it two years in a row highlights our continued commitment to academic growth, positive learning experiences, and a strong school culture.
We are incredibly proud of the progress our students are making each day and grateful for the support of our families and community. Together, we are creating a place where students feel encouraged, challenged, and celebrated.
Thank you to everyone who plays a part in making our school such a special place. We look forward to building on this success and working toward another great year of learning!

We’re excited to share some wonderful news—our school now has a brand-new book vending machine, thanks to the generous support of Anderson Brothers Bank!
Our students have been so excited about this new addition. Each week, students who are recognized as Student of the Week earn special tokens they can use to “purchase” their very own book from the machine. It’s become a fun and meaningful way to celebrate their hard work, and the joy on their faces as they pick out a book is priceless.
This new vending machine also supports our school-wide Rise With Reading initiative. By giving students more opportunities to choose books they love, we’re helping them build confidence, strengthen their reading skills, and stay motivated on their reading journey. The machine has already become a great conversation starter in classrooms, and it’s helping us create a culture where reading is exciting, rewarding, and celebrated.
None of this would be possible without Anderson Brothers Bank. Their donation shows just how committed they are to supporting our school and serving the community. Thanks to their partnership, our students have even more chances to grow as readers and discover the joy of getting lost in a good book.
Thank you, Anderson Brothers Bank, for helping our students Rise With Reading—one book at a time!
The GSFE PTO thanks Sunny’s Italian Ice and Treats for sponsoring our winter cafeteria windows! These fun displays help inspire students to Rise with Reading and will be enjoyed all season long.
