School Board Visit
βοΈπ Royall Welcomes the Florence One School Board! π
We were excited to welcome the Florence One Schools Board of Trustees to Royall Elementary on Wednesday! Our visitors enjoyed touring classrooms, seeing students engaged in learning, and getting a glimpse of the many wonderful things happening throughout our school.
We are grateful for the opportunity to showcase our amazing students, dedicated teachers, and all the special things that make Royall such a wonderful place to learn and grow!
2nd Grade & Exceptional Education Field Trip to the Movies
πΏπ Our 2nd grade students and Exceptional Education students enjoyed a fun-filled field trip to see The Cat in the Hat! This experience brought literacy to life and gave students an opportunity to enjoy a story they know and love in a new way. What a fun day of learning and making memories! β€οΈ
Fall Family Night
We had a wonderful time Tuesday at our Fall Family Night, a Title One Parenting Workshop! Each grade level hosted two interactive stations focused on sharing practical reading and math strategies families can use at home to support their child's learning. Our Related Arts team also provided additional activities for families to enjoy!
Families had the opportunity to explore our school, gather helpful learning resources, shop the Book Fair, and enjoy pizza together!
A BIG thank you to our teachers and staff for making the evening such a success and to all of our families who joined us! We love seeing our Royall community come together to learn, connect, and help our students SHINE BRIGHT!
SC READY Perfect Scores
Last night, two of our Royall students were recognized at the Florence One School Board meeting for an incredible academic achievement! Adeline Wallace, a current 6th grader at Williams IB, and Park Shumaker, a 5th grader at Royall, both earned a PERFECT score on the 2026 SC READY Math Assessment!
We are SO proud of Adeline and Park for this outstanding accomplishment! Their hard work and dedication have truly paid off. Way to SHINE BRIGHT! πππ
Kona Ice
π§ Students enjoyed a sweet Kona Ice treat during recess on Tuesday! It was the perfect way to add a little extra fun to their day. βοΈπ
5th Project Presentations for Parents
Our 5th graders recently completed their Industrial Revolution projects! Students researched important inventions and developments, explored their impact on society, and created visual slide presentations to share what they learned. Each project also included a labeled diagram explaining how an invention or process worked.
We are proud of their hard work, creativity, and growing understanding of how the Industrial Revolution helped shape the world we live in today!
3rd Project Presentations for Parents
The 3rd Grade Natural Disaster Parent Showcase gave students the opportunity to share what they have learned in our Social Studies unit about different natural disasters, including volcanoes, tornadoes, blizzards, floods, and tsunamis. Students created a diorama to represent their chosen natural disaster and conducted research about it for an informational presentation. We loved welcoming families to celebrate our studentsβ hard work, creativity, and learning!

ππ Show Your Team Spirit by Helping Others! π§‘πβ€οΈ
Royall is joining in on some friendly Carolina vs. Clemson competition while making a difference in the lives of others!

Donations may include canned goods, juice boxes, baby food, boxed items, peanut butter, and jelly.
Students can bring their donations to school and place them in either the CAROLINA or CLEMSON donation box!
