I’ve created a site similar to this for our Robotics class in the Spring…
Starting this Spring, we’ll be using this space to share our discoveries and creations in the Robotics and Design Tech classes at Spartanburg Day School.

Should be fun, so follow along!
In the Herald-Journal this morning…
‘Best Christmas Pageant Ever’ mixes mischief with holiday spirit | GoUpstate.com | Spartanburg Herald-Journal | Spartanburg SC: “…She is joined in the cast by another stage veteran, 13-year-old Riley Dismore, an eighth-grader at Spartanburg Day School. Riley remembered reading the book when she was in third grade, saying she couldn’t wait for the chance to try out to play Imogene Herdman.
‘I didn’t want to get my hopes up, in case I didn’t get the part,’ Riley said. ‘When I found out I got it, I jumped out of the car, did a happy dance and turned a few cartwheels.’
Riley said she wanted the part because Imogene seems tough on the outside but has a soft side.
‘Imogene really takes it seriously when she plays Mary in the church play,’ Riley said. ‘She is a deeper character than the others. There is a lot going on with her.’”
Congrats, Riley!
Oh Thank You! That was so nice, unfortunately that was the worst picture in the world of me…. haha thanks Mr. H!
