Greetings from Dr. Rose
Thank you all for attending student led conferences. It is such an exciting time listening to our students take ownership of their learning and make a plan to ensure they are exceeding standard in each grade level. Many times during these conferences, parents ask what can I do. Read. This is the best way to always help your student meet and exceed standard. The picture below demonstrates that importance. As a mom with older students, I miss and will always cherish those moments of reading with my young children. My own children have certainly benefitted from that time and we know yours will as well.
Red Ribbon Week
Boosterthon
Boosterthon allows for these events and these purchases. We certainly hope you'll help your student get pledges and encourage your students during the Boosterthon experience.
More information will be coming very, very soon.
Spartanburg High School Cheerleading Fundraiser
SHS Viking Football
SHS is beginning a new program called “Turn Up the Norse”. “Turn Up the Norse” provides sensory items at home varsity football and basketball games to make SHS sporting events more enjoyable for our fans with sensory needs.
- When? Started last Friday (October 18th) from 6:30 PM until 7:45 PM and will continue at home games
- What? Bags with sensory items (including headphones, sunglasses, and a stress ball) will be distributed at a table in Viking Stadium.
- Where? The table will be located at the home entrance to the right of the ticket booth at the stadium.
- How? Fans will be asked to provide their names, signatures, and phone numbers to check-out a sensory bag. Bags must be returned by the end of the game either to the table or any concession stand on the home side.
- Make Note: Stadium information and a social story are attached to this email and are also on the D7 and SHS websites and Facebook pages!
Please spread the word about this awesome program being supported by SHS, our athletic department, and our community. Thank you for your help! This is our step to making SHS sporting events sensory-friendly!
Turn Up the Norse… because we are ready! Go Vikings!
