Ms. Dailey's Newsletter October 3rd - 7th

Dear Parent(s)            We just wrapped up another exciting week.  Thanks for joining us at Chick-fi-A on Monday.  Everyone had great time.   Many students participated in Spirit Week.    They had fun showing their spirit for a good cause.    All  proceeds  will go to the United Way of the Midlands.     On Thursday, students had an amazing time on their  first field study to the Richland County Public Library.   They had the opportunity to explore a variety of books, engage in hands on activities, and watch a fun filled puppet show.    A special thanks to Mrs. McMasters, Mrs. Toomer and Mrs. Salvant  for your assistance. Please feel free to contact me if you  have any questions or concerns.  Thanks for your support.    Sincerely, Ms. Dailey
