Wallace Gregg Elementary School (WGES) is spending this time celebrating wonderful spring events. We started in February with our annual “Muffins for Mom”. We celebrated “moms” on two different days. The first day was for our 5K through 3rd grades and the second day was for our upper elementary students in grades 4th through 6th. We had mothers, grandmothers, and guardians to show up each morning with a smile on their faces. The tables were decorated with flowers and handprint placement mats. The students and the parents enjoyed themselves. This was then followed up with our annual “Ties and Tiaras” Dance, a dance for fathers and daughters. The fathers, not wanting to be outdone, came dressed to impress. We had over one hundred fathers, grandfathers, uncles and big brothers, along with the daughters to show up. The group were provided with appetizers such as meatballs, potato salad, chips, dessert and the option of tea, fruit punch, and water. The fathers and daughters had the opportunity to have their pictures taken by a professional photographer during this event and were given a photo to take home as a reminder of the celebration. It was a fun time had by all who attended. As we begin to wind down to the end of the year, we have more exciting events occurring. We will start with our annual pep rally for “Rock the Test.” This is a pep rally designed to show support for the students in grades 3, 4, 5, and 6 who will take the SC Ready and SC Pass in May. The teachers and their homeroom class of students will come up with a skit about testing to present to the audience. Then the judges will vote to decide the winner competition and present the winning class with a trophy. State wide testing will run from May 14May 23, 2019. WGE will also have several other events in May. We will offer our mothers the opportunity to dance with their sons in a “Mother Son Dance.” The mothers will be afforded with same opportunities as the Ties and Tiara Dance. The Mothers and sons will have the opportunity to eat food, dance and take pictures. Next we will have our “Donuts for Dad.” This is the opportunity for the Dads to come out and eat breakfast with the students and then go the classroom to read a book the students. We will have our annual Family Fling Day, where parents can come out to participate, support and watch our students during their field day. Students will complete in various activities that trying to the winning blue ribbon.
