In addition, this past week, we had a few artistic and musical achievements! Ms. Jordan and her team of young performers put on a wonderful play called "Bocon!" Mr. Easterday's Band earned a Superior rating with distinction at the Concert Performance Assessment at Pickens. Awesome job, Falcons! We are very proud of you.
Thank you to the wonderful parents who came to "Shadow" our teachers on Wednesday, March 20. Parents visited Ms. Peavy, Ms. Jones, Ms. Miller, Ms. Dreier, Ms. Welch, Ms. Rubinstien and Ms. Obregon! These teachers were able to show off their teaching skills and wonderful classroom environments. The visit ended with a debrief in the conference room. Thanks to Oakland Baptist for providing treats! We look forward to doing this again in September. Thank you to Ms. Davis and SIC for arranging this opportunity.
Thursday, Student Council did an awesome job hosting a "March Madness" basketball game between students and teachers. Who knew Mr. Quirapas and Mr. Easterday could shoot 3 pointers?! Teachers won 49-15, and our cheer and step teams performed well. It was a great time held by all!
Last, but not least, our Culture Club attended the Winthrop Model UN conference! Sullivan is the first middle school allowed to attend, and our students represented our school well. We are invited again next year, so thanks to Ms. Dreier for arranging this opportunity with Winthrop!
This week is another short week for Rock Hill School District 3 as we near Spring Break! Our 8th graders will travel to Washington, DC, and several of our students will be traveling with the district to Spain and France. For everyone else, Thursday is a half-day with school releasing at 11:45. (Please do not enter the car rider line prior to 11:30 so that CPES students can release first at 11:15.) Friday, there is no school and we will begin Spring Break!
We hope that you have an enjoyable, safe, and restful break! See you on Monday, April 8!
Make it a great week, Falcons!

Mr. Espich
Coach Espich is one of the most popular teachers on campus. He coaches football, helps with Beta Club, and he organizes the 8th grade Washington, DC trip. He is an outstanding and down to earth teacher! He is originally from Northern Kentucky, and this is his 7th year teaching. He majored in History and is an alternative-route teacher. Mr Espich believes that teaching social studies is important for producing well-rounded students and that understanding what came before can expose the how and why of what is happening today.
Ms. Jones!
Ms. Jones is a 6th grade ELA teacher from Raleigh. She attended Winston-Salem State University, and this is her 5th year teaching at Sullivan. Ms. Jones is a talented and creative teacher who is much loved by her students and her 6th grade team. We know we can trust and rely on Ms. Jones for growing all of her students reading and writing skills every year!
Mrs. Rubinstien and the Arts department are in search of a committee of volunteers to help organize the upcoming Night of the Arts on April 23rd. If you are interested in lending a hand, please fill out the following form.
Some of the tasks we are looking to organize include a silent auction, a food truck, art sales, assistance with art club students, week-of assembling, and day-of assistance. We may meet all together in person once or twice to organize ourselves, then divvy up.
