Thursday June 5th is the 5th annual SC Aerospace Night at Fluor Field – hosted in partnership between the Greenville Drive and SC Aerospace, an initiative of SC Competes! Since its inception, SC Aerospace Night has grown to become our community’s premiere community celebration & educational event all centered on the Aerospace Industry.
Every year, Aerospace Night showcases the incredible businesses, leaders, and organizations contributing to the Aerospace Industry in the Upstate. PLUS, the event helps grow & inspire our community’s next generation Aerospace workforce.

Let's get to know Ms. Feix!
A little bit about her…
She grew up in Michigan and went to Michigan State University. She has taught for 10 years (9 years was 6th grade Social Studies at Beck Academy). She and her husband have a 6 month old son named Colton.
What inspired her to become a teacher?
She wanted to become a teacher since the first grade. She wanted to teach history because so many people find it to be inaccessible and boring, so she wanted to be able to change that.
What is she most excited about next year?
She is excited to be in a new school where she can get to know everyone and learn from them!
The athletic department's chicken biscuit fundraiser was such a success this morning! Thank you to everyone who purchased one and supported our student athletes!
We will have this again one more time on May 14! So come hungry!
Young poets in Mrs. Quinby’s 6th grade class have been hard at work! Over the past few weeks, with the help of Mrs. Spencer and Mrs. Henson, students have been writing, editing, and revising their own original poems—each one a unique expression of their creativity and voice. On Monday, they shared their work with their classmates and families at the Poetry Café.
One more teacher introduction! Let's get to know Ms. Skinner!
A little bit about her…
She is from the Greer area and went to Blue Ridge High School. After graduating, she got her education degree at North Greenville University. She graduated in May of 2023 and has been working at Dawkins Middle School in Spartanburg 6 for the last two years!
What inspired her to become a teacher?
She has always loved working with kids! She worked part time at a preschool/daycare in high school and college and decided to major in education. She originally wanted to teach elementary school, but she quickly realized during her placements that she liked the middle school content and age group the most!
What is she most excited about next year?
She is most excited about meeting new people and working closer to the community that she lives in!
Proud is an understatement for these students in Mrs. Bo’s ELA class. Each link of this chain represents a book read. As a reward students celebrated with a pajama party for their reading determination.
Let's get to know Ms. Payne!
A little bit about her …
She's been a Special Education Teacher for five years, and she has a deep passion for supporting students with diverse learning needs.

Her faith is also very important to her, and she loves being part of Fellowship Greenville. She is excited to be at ACMS and is looking forward to getting to know everyone!
What is she most excited about next year?
Next year, she's most excited about being able to serve the community she lives in and meeting new friends along the way!
