April 25
We are excited to announce that our very own, Miss Loren Holliday is a Berkeley County Teacher of the Year Finalist! Miss Holliday cares deeply for not only the students she serves, but looks out for the well-being of all students. She is knowledgeable about many things, excels in her areas of expertise, and continues to support all areas of Opequon Elementary's daily activities. Miss Holliday is a significant source of strength within the Opequon School body and contributes to each grade-level team in some way. In a moment’s notice she can speak about a student’s strengths and challenges. The administrative team appreciates the time and effort she’s put in to working on her National Boards and continuing to support all aspects of Opequon Elementary. There’s not a job she doesn’t know how to do. Miss Holliday is a true asset to the climate and culture, and we're grateful she's ours!
Miss Holliday will be honored Thursday, May 1 at the Special Board Meeting held Musselman High School with a start time of 5:30.
On Wednesday, April 23rd Colleen Driscoll presented to each grade level during the school day about how she writes and illustrates her own books! Each student was gifted a copy of the book that she read aloud as well. That evening families attended an interactive Meet the Author night to meet the author and complete a craft and writing activity. This was another great evening coordinated by our Title I team and we had a wonderful time. Students worked to create a main character out of items they had previously collected from nature, and then wrote a story using that character.
