We are looking for sponsors willing to donate to our 2025-26 classroom t-shirts. Each classroom has their own design to help build community within our school. Students feel part of their class family with these shirts and they are used throughout the school year for many different events. At the end of the year, the shirts become a special keepsake to treasure for years to come.
Sponsors will have their logo appearing on the shirts. $1000 will sponsor a grade level or $6000 will sponsor the whole school.
If you are interested in supporting this project or need more information, please reach out to Bryan Cegelis for more information at 864.949.7620 or bryan.cegelis@spart5.net.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to all of our faculty and staff! Thank you for your efforts and impact on our students and school. You have helped our students learn and grow with your guidance, care, and patience. You have helped them succeed, feel safe, and know that you believe in them. We appreciate your hard work, time, and dedication!
Students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades will take our state's standardized test, SC READY, starting on Wednesday and continuing into next week. Please do not schedule any appointments during testing so that your child does not have to participate in make up testing. Unfortunately, make up testing often coincides with some of the many fun activities we have in May, so we encourage your child to arrive on time and have good attendance during testing!
The schedule for this week is:
Wednesday, May 7th- SC READY MATH (3rd, 4th, and 5th)
Thursday, May 8th - SC READY WRITING (3rd, 4th, and 5th)
Testing schedule for next week:
Tuesday, May 13th - SC READY READING PART ONE (3rd, 4th, and 5th)
Wednesday, May 14th- SC READY READING PART TWO (3rd, 4th, and 5th)
Thursday, May 15th, SC READY SCIENCE (4th grade only)
Please make sure students are on time for days of testing, that they’ve had a good breakfast, and they get a good night’s rest!
