Upcoming Events
Dear Friends of PTH,
We had another great week of learning at growing at PTH! We took our
school pictures and I have to say our Bullpups are pretty cute! If you would like
to order your child’s school picture, you can do so by ordering online at www.
strawbridge.net.
Winnie and I have truly been inspired as we watched our students rally
around the “Pencil Campaign” for a needy school in Haiti. Our students have
met their original goal of raising 1000 pencils so they have increased their goal
to 2000 pencils! I know our Bullpups can meet this increased goal.
Winnie and I were also inspired when we saw so many patriots
wearing their red, white and blue in honor of Patriot’s Day today! Great job,
Bullpups!
I apologize for needing to reschedule the Open House. We will
reschedule for the near future. Thank you for your flexibility.
Winnie and I look forward to seeing our grandparents next week at the
Grandparent’s breakfast! We love having our parents and grandparents visit
our school!
The bookfair will also be open next week. Stop by the library to see all
the great title selections we have available.
Today is Mrs. Debbi Christmas’ last day at PTH. Mrs. Christmas is a 5th
grade teacher. Starting on Monday, Mrs. Christmas will be the reading coach
for Bethune and Mr. Pisgah Elementary Schools. Winnie and I will really miss
Mrs. Christmas! Mrs. Beltz, our technology coach, will be replacing Mrs.
Christmas for the remainder of this year. Although we are sad to see Mrs.
Christmas go, we are celebrating with her on her new position! Winnie and I
are thankful for Mrs. Beltz’s assuming the 5th grade teaching position with a
smile! Both these ladies exemplify the Bullpup spirit!
As always, Mr. Bringer, Winnie and I are here to support our bullpups
and their families. Please let us know how we may be of help to you or your
child.
With Bullpup Pride,
Mrs. Royalty & Winnie the Bullpup

CALLING ALL PENCILS!

need pencils for classrooms. Please send in donations of #2,
unsharpened, NEW pencils and put them in the boxes they
have put around the school. Their goal is 1,000 pencils!

The SC Education Oversight Committee (EOC) has partnered with the
athletic departments of both the University of South Carolina and
Clemson University to motivate and incentivize all public primary,
elementary and middle school students in our state to read.
Make sure your child reads 6 reading-level appropriate books,
complete the book list, and return it to his/her teacher for a chance
to win a trip to the Palmetto Bowl!

school's library. A listing of other meetings dates is available on the school district's
