What
a fantastic weekend celebrating football wins all over! Wardlaw, RSM, King, Thurmond, Carolina,
Clemson…lots of smiling fans this week! And lots of relieved coaches’
wives!
The
princess, Leagrace, experienced her very first dance class last week at
Palmetto Dance Academy under the direction of Heather Riley-Shealy assisted by
McKenna Palmer. Leagrace absolutely
loved this dance therapy and laughed the entire time! Miss Heather played Leagrace’s favorite music
from Frozen and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. We
know that we will see amazing things from Leagrace as Heather and McKenna work
with her throughout the year. And we
can’t wait to see her on the stage!
She’ll steal the show!
RSM High: The
Trojans defeated rival Wagener-Salley last Friday night and are now in
possession once again of the coveted county trophy. Plans are to keep the trophy permanently!
The
high school will host Open House
Mon., Sept. 15, at 6 pm beginning in the high school’s old cafeteria.
An
assembly focusing on respect was presented by the drama class to the student
body last Thursday with role plays about how to show respect and how to help
others show respect. Drama instructor
Kerry Jackson did a fine job of allowing the students’ creativity to shine as
they practiced their acting and musical skills.
Even principal Mr. Wintrode joined in as the teacher in one of the
skits. Then another show wowed the
crowd. McKenna Palmer and Mr. Wintrode
danced in the middle of the gym while three of our lovely faculty members got
all dolled up and sang and danced to Aretha’s “Respect.” If you missed this display of talent, you
truly missed out! Douda in a wig! Marks-Johnson showing that attitude! And Holley decked out in some hot red
garb! Priceless!
