Raider Rap-November 5, 2021
From Ms. Carnall
Good Afternoon,
Please join me in congratulating the Lady Raiders Volleyball team in their win over Landrum last night. The Lady Raiders are UNDEFEATED this season and are the SJCSD Middle School Champions!! They gave it their all in both games, and their efforts paid off. Congratulations to the players and the coaches on an amazing season.
We would like to welcome Ms. Mary Jay, who will be assisting in the Dean's office. Ms. Jay comes to us from Gamble Rogers Middle School. She is a seasoned educator who served in the positions of teacher, Director of Exceptional Student Education, and an Assistant Principal. We are so excited to have her join the Raider Family.
Please keep reading below for some updates and notices this week.
Have a great weekend,
Ms. Carnall
