Happy Friday! It has been a wonderful week as we celebrated our teachers and had a wonderful art show provided by our sharks! This coming week is full of review for testing on Monday and then our final SC Ready tests on Tuesday and Wednesday. 4th grade will finish up on Thursday with science. I hope everyone has an awesome weekend and we will see you on Monday!
