Homecoming week is coming!

Great schools need great leaders and in District 7, we are fortunate to have principals who show up every day ready to lead, serve and make a difference.
Their mission is a big one.
They set the tone for their schools. They champion great teaching and learning. They celebrate successes, navigate challenges, build relationships with families, and make countless decisions, both seen and unseen, with students at the center.
Most importantly, they bring people together around a shared belief in what is possible for every child.
During National Principals Month, we are proud to celebrate the leaders who have accepted that mission across District 7:
Victoria Bradley, E.P. Todd School
Dr. Marquice Clark, Cleveland Academy of Leadership
Jonathan Duvall, Jesse Boyd Elementary
Carla Cato, Drayton Mills Elementary
Tammy Jordan, Mary H. Wright Elementary
Dennis Regnier, Pine Street Elementary
Randy Edwards, Carver Middle School
Dr. Telena Woody, McCracken Middle School
Dr. Andrew McMillan, Spartanburg High School
Erin Black, Spartanburg County Adult Education
Cameron Collier, Whitlock Flexible Learning Center
Rene Ford, McCarthy Teszler School
Shawna Bynum, The Franklin School
Their schools may look different and the needs they meet each day may vary, but their mission is shared: creating places where students can learn, grow, belong and become their very best.
To our D7 principals, thank you for answering the call, embracing the challenge and leading with purpose.
Mission Accepted. Every school. Every student. Every day.

6th grade science put their knowledge of waves and heat transfer on display this week! After their unit of study, they took time to design a solar oven with the objective of roasting a marshmallow and melting chocolate for a delicious smore. In designing they had to consider how to catch, collect, and concentrate the solar energy to cook their s'more. After designing, they engineered and constructed their own solar ovens. Finally it was time to put their build to the test. They are happy to report Mission Accomplished! Delicious!

It may be Pajama Day, but we aren't sleeping on learning. The eighth grade career cluster students are learning about real estate development from Mr. Ceej Jefferson of Oak and Ave. Property Group.
Our students have enjoyed our celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month with daily trivia. Our Spanish classes participated in a class project learning all of the Spanish speaking countries in the world and making fun decorations based on Spanish flags!
Here's one of the trivia questions: Which African Nation has Spanish as their official language?

MISSION ACCEPTED: Learning for our learners!
A reminder that District 7 schools will be closed to students this Friday, October 2, while our faculty and staff come together for a districtwide Professional Development Day.
Part of accepting the mission means continuing to learn and grow ourselves, strengthening our practice so we can give our students our very best.
And while school is out, our friends at City of Spartanburg Parks & Rec have some great opportunities for students! They are offering Out of School Day programs for ages 5 to 12 and teens ages 13 to 17 this Friday and on other scheduled days when students are out of school throughout the year.
Check out the flyers for details, times and locations!
No school for students Friday, but plenty of learning and fun happening across Spartanburg!

Athletics this week includes our Homecoming Game Thursday!
These students have been learning about states of matter in science. While physically interacting with solids and liquids can be easily done, gasses can be harder to understand. To develop a deeper understanding of gasses they initiated a chemical reaction that produces a gas, covered their container with a balloon and observed the gas cause the balloon to expand. Learning made real.

Picture Day brought out all the smiles this week! These students came with the energy and the fits!

Mrs. Patsy Wade, Carver High Class of 1970, stopped by this week and purchased tickets for herself and 8 of her classmates for Homecoming! This is why we put on this event. All Carver High Alumni are invited to join us. Also, Mrs. Patsy said the class is 1970 was the best class! We're just the messenger.
