SC 250

As South Carolina and the nation prepare to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary, the SC Department of Education is encouraging school districts to share Summer SC 250 activities available through the Palmetto Civics Project to help strengthen students’ understanding of history, government, and their role as engaged citizens. The Summer SC 250 activities offer fun, accessible, and impactful opportunities for students and families during the summer months. This upcoming July 4, 2026 holds special historical significance, the Education Department notes, as we reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and ideals that gave rise to our nation. South Carolina played an integral role in the American Revolution, hosting pivotal battles, enduring prolonged conflict, and producing leaders whose actions directly influenced the fight for independence.

Lexington Two summer camps

We invite your kids to spend some of their summer days learning new skills and connecting with other area youth at one of our Lexington Two summer camps. Click this link for a list of camp offerings in June and July. You don’t have to attend a Lexington Two school to join in the fun!

Free summer meals

Area  youth ages 18 and under will once again have access to free breakfast and lunch meals in the summer months through a federally funded child nutrition program. There are two options: dine-in sites and grab and go curbside meal bundle pickup. Get important details about both meal options and find out meal pickup locations/dates/times by clicking this link.

Each year the SC Department of Public Health provides the state’s immunization requirements for child care and schools. Here’s the link to information about the 2026-2027 school year

School supply lists

To ensure that you can beat the last-minute crowds for back-to-school supply shopping, our schools will have their 2026-2027 supply lists posted to their websites by no later than July 1.
