    It is hard to believe that


    we are halfway through
    April. This year is flying
    by. We will begin state
    testing in the next couple
    of weeks.
    This spring South Carolina is introducing new
    assessments to measure
    academic performance
    for students across the
    state from the elementary grades through high
    school. Three testsACT
    Aspire, The ACT Plus
    Writing, and ACT WorkKeyswill help students prepare for future
    life success.
    The assessments form a
    connected system to

    monitor the educational


    progress of students from
    grades 3 through 8 and
    in grade 11. The tests are
    developed by ACT, the
    company best known for
    The ACT, the nations
    leading college entrance
    exam.
    On April 28th - 30th,
    elementary students will
    take the ACT Aspire test.
    Students will be tested
    on Writing and English
    on the 28th; Reading on
    the 29th; and, Math on
    the 30th.
    Our faculty has worked
    very hard to be sure you
    child is ready. It is very
    important that you have

    your child at school on


    time and ready to test.
    They should have a good
    nights rest and a nutritious breakfast. Also,
    please do not plan to
    sign your children out
    before noon on testing
    days. Doctors appointments should not be
    scheduled during testing
    times.
    Please note that no parent volunteers will be
    allowed in the building
    while the students are
    testing. This includes all
    grade levels.
    I know our students will
    do well!

    Blowfish Reading Program


    This fun reading program combines books
    and baseball! Students
    are encouraged to read
    up to four
    books between March
    26 - April 24 to receive
    free admission and special
    recognition at a Blowfish
    home game. The school with
    the highest participation rate
    receives $500 for new library
    books and will be recognized
    on field before their designated game. The designated
    game for LMES will be
    on Monday, June 15th.
    Base prizes include...

    LEARN

    LEAD

    FIRST BASE (1 book read) =


    one ticket to our school's designated home game
    SECOND BASE (2 books read)
    = one ticket for the parent/
    guardian to our school's designated home game
    THIRD BASE (3 books read) =

    pre-game Parade
    HOME RUN (4 books read) =
    one free hot dog and one free

    Each student receives a Blowfish Bookmark and Reading Log
    to track his/her reading progress.
    The reading log is for students
    to fill out as they read each book

    over the selected 4-week period.


    When the program ends, students
    will turn in their completed
    reading log to their homeroom
    teacher. Mrs. Matney will then
    send home a letter to those parents/guardians with information
    on how to redeem tickets and
    prizes. Please note that Blowfish
    staff will not accept the bookmark as a "ticket" on the day of
    the game like they have done in
    the past. Tickets/prizes must be
    reserved in advance by calling
    or emailing the box office. Blowfish home games will
    be played at the Lexington County Baseball Stadium located at
    474 Ball Park Road in Lexington.

    Notes from the


    Nurse
    PLAY IT SAFE
    Playing sports is
    one of the best
    ways to keep kids
    active, healthy
    and happy. Being part of a
    team and playing
    sports can help build
    self-esteem and social skills. Involvement in sports also
    increases risk of
    injury.
    Learn what you
    need to know to keep
    your kids safe when playing sports:
    Start any exercise or sport
    activity with conditioning.
    It is essential to warm up
    and loosen those muscles
    for about 10 minutes. Try
    stretching while holding
    each stretch for 20-30 seconds. Try jogging, jump-

    ing jacks or anything that


    brings the heart rate up
    gradually.

    medical emergency and make


    sure that coaches and teachers
    have your contact numbers.

    Prevent overuse injury by


    taking rest breaks. It is
    important that
    children take a
    rest when involved in sports
    activities. Have
    your child take a
    day or two off
    each week from
    sports to give them time to
    rest.

    Learn the signs and symptoms


    of a concussion. Sometimes
    they are hard to recognize
    when they happen. When in
    doubt, sit them out.

    Make sure that you plan


    ahead making sure that
    your child is ready and has
    everything they need for
    their sport. Schedule yearly well check-ups or sports
    physicals, have a safety
    plan in place in case of

    Make sure that all equipment


    being used is safe and fitted
    properly. Watch for wear and
    tear and replace worn out
    equipment before it causes
    injury.

    Stay hydrated. It is important


    to drink plenty of water before, during and after activities. Dont wait until they are
    thirsty, encourage water intake.

    Be active, stay safe and have


    fun!
