🦈💡 5th Grade Shark Tank! 💡🦈
Our 5th graders have been reading and writing about inventors, so last week they put their own creativity to the test! Students designed an original invention and presented a Shark Tank-style sales pitch, arguing why their invention was the most useful and deserved to be funded first! 🧠✨
Talk about putting reading, writing, creativity, and persuasive skills to work! 👏
Our K5 students are seasoned learners! 🍂❄️🌷☀️ This week, they explored the four seasons and discovered what makes each one special!
We love football Fridays at Flat Rock! 💛🖤 Let's go, tigers, let's go! 🐅🐅
🎉 PERFECT SCORE ALERT! 🎉
A huge Flat Rock congratulations to Colt Mack and Talon White for earning PERFECT scores on the SC READY assessment! 🌟👏
These two rocked the test and showed just how brightly our Flat Rock students can shine. We are so proud of their hard work and this incredible accomplishment. We’re just as proud of the amazing teachers who helped teach, encourage, and prepare them along the way! 💛

We wanted to take a moment to recognize Mrs. Beth Hughes as she “retires” from her role as Anderson 3’s District Head Nurse after nearly 15 years of dedicated service! 💉❤️
Throughout her tenure, Beth has been a trusted leader and steady presence, helping guide our district through some of the most challenging health situations ever, including COVID-19, Measles, and countless day-to-day health and safety needs. Her professionalism, compassion, and commitment to students and staff have made a lasting impact across Anderson 3.
Thankfully, this isn’t goodbye! Mrs. Hughes will continue serving our students as the school nurse at Flat Rock Elementary, and we are grateful that her caring heart and expertise will remain part of our Tiger family.
Thank you, Mrs. Hughes, for your leadership, dedication, and nearly 15 years of service to Anderson 3 as our head nurse! 🐯🩺💙
