Happy Friday!

We had a great week of 3rd-5th grade testing! Our K-2 students have been finishing up great work as well, looking at their growth for the year. We are so proud of them! We have 15 more days of learning with SC Ready Writing on Tuesday for 4th and 5th grades and SC Ready Math on Thursday for 3rd-5th grades. See below for our busy month of May! Thank you for your continued support! Have a wonderful weekend!

Committed to Success,

Heather Touchberry
