Are you interested in learning a new language or about different cultures? If this interests you, and you are a current 4th-8th grade student, then the Berkeley County STARTALK program might be for you! Beginning in February through the end of May, students in this program will have the opportunity to learn about the Chinese Mandarin language. Participants will also have the opportunity to attend a two-week learning camp this summer through the BCS Summer SOLE program. If you are interested in this opportunity, contact our school counselors, Ms. Riggs or Mrs. Corea for more information.
