Greetings from Bethel Elementary in Simpsonville, SC.  We are located in a suburb of Greenville.  We have 1300 students in our K – 5 school.  We are 1 of 10 third grade classes!  We have 22 students in our class.  Fall has just begun in our area.  The mornings and nights are pretty chilly and the days are warm.  SC is divided into 6 regions.  We are in the Piedmont region.  Our state’s regions vary from mountains, rolling hills, sandhills, swamps, salt marshes, coastal areas.  Come visit us and have fun in the sun.

Hartsville, SC is located 53 miles from the state capital of Columbia, in the northeastern part of the state.  Hartsville is home to Coker College and the HB Robinson Nuclear Power Plant.  People in our area get very excited about college ball due to the huge rivalry between Clemson University’s Tigers and the USC Gamecocks.  Some famous South Carolinians include jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, President Andrew Jackson, and Vanna White.  Find out more about the Palmetto state at www.50states.com.
