On Friday, a group of 7th & 8th grade choir students attended the SCMEA Upstate Middle School Choral Clinic at Converse University.
Students prepared music before attending, then spent the day working with a clinician in preparation for a concert in the evening.
We also enjoyed hearing from some college professors about majoring in music in college, as well as hearing a soloist and the Converse Chorale perform.
Monday, Ms. Loving's class had a blast in science learning with cranberries (which ones float and which ones sink ... and why). They even tasted them! Thank you to Ms. Williams for always making learning so much fun for everyone!!!
An exciting opportunity for all sixth grade through eighth grade students!

As the AVID students restocked the Wolf Den, preparing for another busy day, they expressed excitement, thanks, and gratitude to Mr. John, for providing a brand new shelf to organize their merchandise and inventory. The Wolf Den is a student store owned and fully operated by the AVID Elective students under the supervision of Mr. Watson. Proceeds offset the costs of AVID field trips and activities. Thanks, Mr. John!

News from our athletic department!
Cops for Tots!
Thirty-five years ago, one employee at the Greer Police Department started the Cops for Tots Program as a way to help a small number of struggling families in the Greer area at Christmas time. The program was established to provide gifts for children who otherwise would have no gifts to open on Christmas day. Since that time, the program has grown exponentially and now helps hundreds of children each December.
If you'd like to make a donation, here is some information! Toys you can be dropped off to Officer Moreno's office, and he will drop them off at the police department.
Mr. Watson and his AVID students spent the day collaborating, problem solving, and team building at the Flying Rabbit Adventure Park in Greenville! The students learned how to overcome obstacles and fears in an adventurous way!
Wolves of the Workforce: Today we had the pleasure of hearing from Dr. Liza Price, Veterinarian and owner of Riverside Vet. Students were able to make predictions on the causes of certain illnesses in animals and learned about the process of becoming a veterinarian. Thank you, Dr. Price for visiting us today!
