May 2009

    During the month of May, students will be exploring careers and test-taking strategies.  If you have any questions about either topic, please feel to contact me.  
    Also, spring is a wonderful time.  However, May brings us "spring fever" and SOL testing.  Let's work together to keep children focused on school and finish up the last quarter of the school year well. Most of good choices is about balance.                                    Mrs. Draughon
