We had a great Spirit week here at school! Today in Mrs. Fetherolf's Class we have a test on the skeletal system. It has been really fun to learn about. Yesterday, we did an activity where you had to research an assigned bone. In Mrs. Whitley's class we're learning about the Civil War. In Mrs. Vinson's class we're having a review on exponents, variables, estimating, and more. In Mrs. Hull's class we're learning about reading strategies. We have a chapter test in Math on Friday the 25th. Today for lunch we're having tacos. We've also been keeping track on our reading logs. For every 2 hours we read or 5 A.R. points we put a sticker in our reading log chart. Our enrichments today are Gym and Forensics. Today is also the first day of fall! Have a good day (: ~MLT

Tonight is the Homecoming game, it starts at 6:00 p.m. We are playing against Fuqua. All of today everyone here is wearing blue and white for school spirit. All this week has been spirit week. On Monday it was college shirt day, a lot of people were wearing things from colleges like VT, Virginia, and UNC . On Tuesday it was twin day, Wednesday was Wacky Tacky day and yesterday was camo day. All of these big events lead up to the big game and hopefully we will win!!!!! Go Raiders!!!

Camouflage Day!

Today is camouflage day because this week is Spirit Week! A lot of people are wearing camouflage. You can wear camouflage hats, pants, vests, and shirts. The teachers told us that we are not aloud to wear our masks for hunting. I thought they were gonna make us take them off so i brought an extra hat just to be sure. All the boys are wearing camouflage and only some of the girls are. Spirit Week is the funnest week of the whole school year!
