SPARTAN ACADEMY

Talk about being busy… (Who is? No one, but now that you mention it).

Many events happened Saturday for our freshmen students!

At the University of Memphis, there was a race going on for charity, which many of our students joined in.

There was also the State competition for National History Day. Congratulations to all the winners.  First and second place winners go to Maryland to compete nationally, and for some of us third-placers, we get to have the alternate spot for nationals. 

There was also the cultural “fair” going on at the same time.  Witnesses proclaim that White Station took home the house by a storm.

            “I performed a Spanish song.  I didn’t win, but the day itself was amazing!  There were so many people there, all waiting to learn something about different languages.” says an insider.

And speaking about performances, let’s go back at our school.  The athletic teams were all taking a different shift and volunteering for Showstoppers, the fantastic dance competition. 

            “It doesn’t look like our school, the cafeteria is covered in drapes, and the auditorium was, like, ah-mazing!” says a worker.

To top it all up, the busy day ended with the Memphis vs. UCLA game.  Go Tigers, go!

Every five years each school must go through an evaluation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.  Next week is OUR week to shine.  The Academy is looking good - lots of excellent student work posted in classrooms and in the hallways.  The second floor teachers really have it going on.  And Ms. Farris and Ms. Coleman Terry on first floor are looking great.  A list of all our Spartan Scholars is on the wall coming out of the breezeway.  Did you find your name on the scholar list?

Anyway, lets be kind to our SACS guests next week and show them what Spartan Spartan Spirit is about.
