Several students from Little Mountain Elementary were among the nearly 160,000 students worldwide to participate in the Math Olympiad Program. They participated in a series of five monthly contest of 5 problems from November to March, and weekly practice sessions under the supervision and coaching of Ms. Jordan Suber. She taught the children to solve unusual and difficult problems and to think creatively.
The following students have been awarded an embroidered felt patch for scoring in the top 50% of all the participants.
Congratulations Wildcats!! We are proud of you!
The trophy and plaque have arrived from the SC NASP State Championship 2020! Congratulations to the team and to Bradley Fulmer.

Attention Parents of Students in Grades K-3:
The South Carolina Department of Education has collaborated with various stakeholders to create resources for students that will allow for continuous instruction throughout the summer. State Literacy Specialists and Early Learning Specialists identified essential learning needed by students for successful fall re-entry, and created lessons that can be used by teachers and parents through a variety of delivery methods. All current and previous resources may be found at www.SCRemoteLearning.com.

What a special way to be greeted on the Mountain. This sign definitely brought the tears and a great big smile. Students, family and community although our school building is empty our pride for our school is BEYOND strong!! The building is just a shell - WE, as the faculty, staff, students, parents and community CREATE the school. Continue to be LMESTRONG!
The faculty and staff love and miss all of you and can’t wait to open the doors of our building so we can greet you with the biggest hugs ever.
Many thanks to the family that posted this sign at LME.
Happy Easter to all of our LME Wildcat Families!
We hope that you took time last week to enjoy Spring Break with your family. Tomorrow is the last day of Spring Break. (We are trying to follow as much normalcy as possible.)
In order to to get us back in the mindset of "school" we are hosting a VIRTUAL SPIRIT WEEK. This will begin on Tuesday. Our related arts team has worked together to come up with a week of fun for us to enjoy. We are excited to see all of our students, parents, faculty and staff participate in the theme for each day. Please take a photo and post here on our Facebook page under comments.
We love and miss you all! We can't wait to see everyone back on the Mountain.
Stay safe.

We are in the process of submitting our 2019-2020 LME Yearbook for production. We need your help as we compile our final pages. We are asking that you please email Susan Dawkins (sdawkins@newberry.k12.sc.us) or Kim Mack (kmack@newberry.k12.sc.us) photos of recent "home-school" pictures. These pictures can be of our students working on learning packets, practicing music, creating art, PE or assignments from mystery readers.
Also, we would like for you to email your yearbook message to your child. Typically, there is a charge for yearbook messages, but we are not charging this year. An example of a message follows:
Rowdie, we are extremely proud of you! You rocked 2nd grade! Keep growing your brain. Love, Daddy & Mama
Please limit your message to 200 characters. Email messages to kmack@newberry.k12.sc.us

Hello students and parents!
I hope everyone is staying safe out there and I will miss teaching you in PE class while we are not at school, but the good news is you can always practice the skills you need to keep your body healthy.
I’ve included some daily workouts for you to try and also linked up resources and activities that you can check out over the next few weeks. Also, don’t be afraid to get creative! One day in college, when my roommates and I were trying to be responsible and save money, we made up a game called Pots. Basically, we would spread out pots and pans in an open area, assign each one a point value, fold up a pair of socks to use as a ball, and challenge each other with different trick shots.
If you want, you can have your parents send a picture or video if you are working on any of these activities to seades@newberry.k12.sc.us. I’d love to share with the staff how our Wildcats are staying active!
Please go to documents under the menu tab and find the PE folder under the 10-day packets for remote learning folder. Other than the daily workouts provided in this packet, you can find lots of additional ideas linked on the last page.
Stay Safe, Have Fun and Keep Yourself Active!
