INFORMATION ABOUT COVID-19 The number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) is increasing worldwide, and, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), more domestic cases are likely in the coming days. As always, Spartanburg Day School's highest priority is the health and safety of our students and school community. While there is still much uncertainty regarding COVID-19, we are closely monitoring recommendations from the CDC, World Health Organization (WHO) and the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC). At this time, COVID-19 is not wide-spread in the United States, and no cases have been identified in South Carolina. We encourage you to continue to educate yourselves on this disease and to practice everyday preventive actions known to reduce the spread of illness: - Avoid close contact with people who are sick
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
- Stay home when you are sick
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash
- Clean and disinfect frequently using a regular household cleaner
- Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, particularly after going to the bathroom, before eating, or after blowing your nose, sneezing or coughing. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.

Mrs. Huckaby most recently served as assistant head of school at Southfield School in Shreveport, La. She will begin in her new role on July 1.

Do you have a special talent? We need our amazing SDS parents to help with the SDS International Street Fair this year!
If you have donated in the past, THANK YOU! If you haven't, maybe the reason is because we don't know what you can do. If you have hidden special talents or have a family member that does, let us know! We are looking for vacation getaways, experiences, art, sports related items and camps, event tickets, restaurant gift certificates and the like.
Do you have tickets to a local sporting event or theater you'd like to donate? How about restaurant or spa gift cards? Do you have a vacation home you'd be willing to offer for a destination getaway? Do you or your company have something great to offer or are you creative in ways other people would appreciate? Grab a friend and host a kids or adult party!
Are you an artist? An interior decorator? Musician? Plastic Surgeon? Chef? Esthetician?
Please be creative with your talent and help us continue the great tradition of successful fundraising through the SDS International Street Fair. Contact Haley Williams at haleywilliams144@gmail.com. |
