First & Third Grade Class Activities...

Our first graders have been hard at work designing and building ice cities from marshmallows, M&M's, cookies and gummies. They read about a city of ice that is built every year in China. They all really enjoyed this project!

Check out 3rd Grade! They had so much fun searching the South Carolina State House website and learning about our State!

The E team meets every Thursday after school. They had lots of fun at a can crushing party!!! They crushed all of the cans that have been collected and then brought the bag down to the Knights of Columbus trailer where it will get brought to be recycled. If you want to be a part of this fun club stop by Mrs. Broderick's 6th grade classroom on Thursday to check it out!!

Fundraiser

Soup Bowl tickets went out in last week's Tuesday Envelopes. Each family received 5 tickets in total to purchase or sell. This is a warm delicious way for our school to raise money while also sharing talents and generosity of our Local Restaurants!
We ask that you please return payment for your tickets (or any unsold tickets) no later than Tuesday, January 28th!
Please keep in mind that we still need parent volunteers
(i.e. servers, runners, soup pick up, clean up, bake sale, and ticket sales) to name a few.
Thank you in advance for your continued support of our school!
We look forward to seeing you all on the 31st.
