New Employee Orientation for Colleton County School District – Tuesday, July 21, 2026

We participated as a vendor in the 2026-2027 New Employee Orientation for Colleton County Schools. We provided bags, classroom library books, general teacher supplies such as pencils, pens, glue sticks, etc. It was a great event, and we were honored to partner with CCSD. Wishing all employees – new and returning a great year!

We were so excited to be a vendor at the Back to School Bash held at Colleton County High School!  Lots of excitement in the air for the 2026-2027 school year!

Car Seat Check

It was a warm, muggy morning but, our Colleton County First Steps Safe Kids team did a great job with the car seat check that we hosted on Tuesday, September 22, 2026. They installed 8 new car seats for those who came and took advantage of this free event. Keeping our little ones safe is our top priority! Check back here and on our Facebook page for more events such as this one. (Take a look at our Gallery page for more photos!)

Our First Steps staff enjoyed being a part of the National Night Out event held by the Colleton County Sheriff’s Department on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, in downtown Walterboro. We saw lots of familiar faces and gave away books and school supplies. See our Gallery page for more photos!

Again, our Colleton County First Steps staff partnered with the Colleton County Sheriff’s Department for the annual community wide Trunk or Treat.
