Eighth-grade students were given parent surveys today from the SC Dept. of Education. We are asking that parents complete these and have them turned in no later than Friday, May 3rd. The parent survey results are a vital role in helping our school identify better ways to work with parents. The results of the parent surveys will be included anonymously in our school report card.

Saturday, the SIMS FFA Tool ID Team traveled to Lexington Technology Center for the SC state competition. The team consisted of Jaxson Blanton, Brent Erwin, Karlie Whitaker, and Levi Bouknight. Our 7th graders placed 9th out of 19 schools with a total score of 275 out of 300. Starr-Iva was the highest ranked middle school team in the contest. Jaxson Blanton had a score of 97 out of 100, putting him in a 7-way tie for 4th place. We are very proud of the way our middle schoolers competed so confidently against 75 other students, most of which were high schoolers. They conducted themselves well and were a pleasure to be around. Congratulations to these individuals!
