Wallace Gregg Celebrates Student Accomplishments, Education In November, the first quarter ended. The end of the first quarter came with some celebrations at Wallace Gregg. We held two awards ceremonies at Francis Marion University. The first ceremony was on Monday November 4, 2019 for kindergarten through second grade students. The second awards ceremony was on Wednesday, November 6, 2019 for third through sixth grade students.. Each event celebrated students with perfect attendance, the highest math and language arts averages, and most Accelerated Reader points per class. Also, our related arts teachers gave out awards to one student in each class. The Kiwanis Club was present to recognize Terrific Kids from each class. As November continued, WGE continued celebrating the students hard work from the first nine weeks. Wallace Gregg was invited to attend a Francis Marion Basketball game on Friday November 8. Our students earned the trip through displaying positive behavior in the first quarter. Wallace Gregg had 317 students attend the field trip! After the game, our students had a chance to meet the players. Our last full week of school in November was American Education Week. Throughout the week we held different events to celebrate the importance of education. Ms. Sims, a third grade teacher at WGE, created a “We Graduated and You Can Too” wall. This wall featured all of the staff graduating from kindergarten, high school, and college and was created to show the students how important education is to everyone at WGE. Throughout the week, we had different treats and activities. On Monday, students wrote about why they love Wallace Gregg. On Tuesday, the wonderful cafeteria workers served everyone a treat to remind us that, “School is Cool!” On Wednesday, students wrote members of education letters about how thankful they are for them. On Thursday we had parent volunteers come read to classes. On Friday, students made a list of the keys to a good education and hung them outside of classrooms. To end American Education Week, we held an assembly Friday afternoon with former superintendent Dr. Allie Brooks.
