Dear ROE Families,
It’s hard to believe that we have just one quarter left in the school year. Our students worked very hard during the third term. They participated in Measured Academic Progress assessments. I am pleased to report that many students met or exceeded their personal goals. We are very proud of all our students for giving their best efforts and demonstrating what they know.
The District Technology Fair was held last week. This was the first time this event was in person in three years. We had eleven students, ages 5-11 years, represent our school by creating a technology project. Here is a picture of the students who took part in this event.
We look forward to our students attending field trips this spring. Some of our students will be learning about animals at the Playcard Environmental Education Center, while others will be exploring Alligator Adventure, or learning about force and motion at Myrtle Beach Bowl. If you have any questions about a field trip, I encourage you to reach out to your child’s teacher.
Students had an opportunity to participate in the Earth Day at the Bay Elementary Art Poster Contest. I am proud to announce that we had three winners as follows: First Place, Theresa, from Ms. Wright's class, Second Place, Kalli, and Third Place, Zofia both from Ms. Adams class. Congratulations to our winners!
Spring break begins on April 11th. School resumes on April 18th.
Enjoy this time with your families.
