Relay for Life: Illuminating the Fight Against Cancer Relay for Life: Illuminating the Fight Against Cancer

This year’s Berkeley County Relay for Life festivities will be located at the Berkeley 2000 Recreation Center on June 7th at 11:00am. One of the most powerful and emotional moments during the Relay For Life event is the Luminaria Ceremony. Each luminaria at the ceremony has its own unique story, decorated with the names of loved ones, and lit in honor and in memory of a life touched by cancer. I’ve attended the Luminaria Ceremony and it truly is a beautiful experience! 🕊️ 🕯️


Dedicate a luminaria today to a loved one lost, someone currently facing cancer, or anyone who has experienced a cancer journey. Your luminaria will shine bright at Relay For Life of Berkeley County.

DEDICATE MY LUMINARIA using the following link: https://secure.acsevents.org/site/SPageServer?pagename=relay_luminaria&PROXY_TYPE=21&PROXY_ID=103458&fr_id=109439&search=event


Each luminaria dedication can be made to support a participant, team, or Opequon’s Relay For Life event, so encourage your family members and friends to donate luminarias toward Opequon’s fundraising efforts. We want to light up our community with our luminarias, so the more dedications there are, the brighter we will shine in our fight against cancer. 🕯️✨🎗️

With Deepest Sympathies With Deepest Sympathies

It is with deep regret that we share the passing of Ms. Lisa Foulk, our resident secretary at Opequon Elementary. Lisa greeted students with a friendly face each day and knew every single student. She was the go-to lady for all things finance, her laughter was contagious, and her ability to make the office smell like a bakery with Scentsy was unmatched! Her loss has been deeply felt across our school community. The Berkeley County Schools Crisis Team was onsite throughout last week, and our school counselors continue to be available to help any student who may need support or guidance as they process this loss. Additionally, the district partners with the Cook Center for Human Connection and their Mental Health and Wellness Resource Center: ParentGuidance.org. They offer parent coaching, on-demand courses, and other resources that may be useful to you in helping your student at home.


We are saddened by this loss and remain committed to supporting our students and staff. Please do not hesitate to reach out if we can assist in any way. Our school community and PTO are working collaboratively on ways to honor and commemorate the life of Mrs. Lisa Foulk. More information will be shared in the future.

Activities Reminder Activities Reminder

As we enter the last few days of school, please remember that many of our activities take place outside. It would be a great idea to keep a spare complete outfit in your child's backpack just in case it's needed. Sunscreen is permitted, but not allowed to be shared. Students are responsible for applying it themselves outside (if you want them to). We've been mindful of the weather and have a lot of fun planned for the cooler hours of the day. More information will come from classroom teachers regarding activities.
