Happy Friday!

I hope everyone is having a great Friday and enjoying this beautiful weather while being out of school. This is the last day out of school before the end of the year. In fact, we only have 25 more days of school left this year! This is so hard to believe. The following 5 weeks are very important to our Sharks. Next week, i-Ready testing begins for our K-2 Sharks, and then the following weeks, SC Ready begins for our 3rd-5th grade Sharks. After testing, we spend the days celebrating and enjoying our classroom and school communities that we have built throughout the year. We love to show our students that when you work hard, there are positive outcomes and celebrations. Please take a look at the events calendars below. One is for the whole school, and one is for our 5th graders only, as they have even more things to add to their calendar, with their last 25 days of elementary school left. Thank you for all you do for our Sharks! We know the educational journey is successful when we all join together for our Sharks! Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Easter!

Committed to Success,

Heather Touchberry
