Greetings from Simpsonville, SC.  We are the Palmetto State. Our school is in a suburban community that is quickly growing.  Our closest large city is Greenville.  We have almost 1200 students in our school, our 3^rd grade class has 22 students.  We are one of seven 3^rd grades at Bethel Elementary.  We enjoy 4 distinct seasons and are just beginning fall.  You should come take a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway toe see the beautiful display of leaves.  We have many ways to enjoy nature.  We can go camping or hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains, or kayaking down one of our many rivers.  We also enjoy playing at the beach and crabbing in salt marshes.  Come take a peek for yourself.
