🏆🏆🏆 Happy National Coaches Day! 🏆🏆🏆
Today, we’re celebrating the coaches who challenge, encourage and inspire our student-athletes to be their best — on the field, on the court, on the course and in the classroom.

🍀 The Heart of Our Schools
Every great school has a heartbeat — and so much of that heartbeat comes from the leader at the center of it all.
October is National Principals Month, and throughout the month, we’re celebrating the principals who lead with purpose, serve with heart and make a difference in the lives of students, staff and families every day.
Our principals do so much more than lead from an office. They greet students at the door, support teachers, celebrate accomplishments, solve problems, build relationships and create school communities where every child can thrive.
They are advocates. Encouragers. Problem-solvers. Culture-builders. Champions for kids.
Today, we hear from Principal Donna Kelly on what she loves about Griggs Road Elementary. ❤️🍀
Happy National Principals Month to our amazing school leaders!

A special tribute was unveiled Thursday at the Clover School District Transportation Department as “Vickie Smith Way”was dedicated in honor of a woman whose decades of service and lasting impact have earned her a special place in the hearts of so many.
Vickie began her career with the Transportation Department on April 1, 1985, and over the years, she and her husband, Jeanks, both devoted countless years to the department. Transportation wasn’t simply a place they worked—it became a meaningful part of their lives and their family for many years.
During the dedication, Ross Hunter, Executive Director of Transportation for Clover School District, reflected on just how instrumental Vickie was to the department. She loved what she did—and she did it so well.
“She helped run this department in the right way, so it’s fitting to name this roadway ‘Vickie Smith Way.’”
Not long after Jeanks passed away, a dogwood tree was planted at the Transportation Department in his memory. Today, that tree stands as a living reminder of his life and service. Now, with the dedication of Vickie Smith Way, Vickie’s legacy has a permanent place there as well.
Two lives devoted to transportation. Decades of service. And a legacy that will continue to be remembered by the many people they touched along the way. We are grateful for the Smith family’s many years of dedication to Clover School District and thankful that this special place will forever honor their impact.

The hard work of Oakridge Elementary School students paid off with a fun-filled morning watching their principal and teachers take on an obstacle course with a hilarious twist: inflatable character costumes! The special incentive celebrated OES students for exceeding their fundraising goal during the PTO’s Boosterthon fundraiser. Their incredible efforts will help fund enhancements to the school’s playground, creating even more opportunities for students to play, explore and enjoy time together. A big congratulations to our Oakridge students for going ALL IN and reaching their goal—and to our brave teachers and principal for taking on the challenge!
Kindergarten students at Bethany Elementary School celebrated their growing literacy skills on Thursday morning with an Alphabet Parade! Each student was assigned a letter and proudly wore their letter while carrying or displaying items that begin with that sound. From A to Z, our young learners demonstrated their growing mastery of the alphabet in a fun and memorable way.
The learning continued with a special opportunity for parents to visit their children’s classrooms for a presentation on how to support early literacy at home. Families learned strategies for helping students practice letters, letter sounds and sight words—important building blocks that help children become confident, successful readers.
We love seeing our youngest learners have fun while showing off what they know. Way to go, kindergarteners!

Fourth-grade students at Oakridge Elementary School had an exciting visit from WBTV on Wednesday, getting a firsthand look at the world of meteorology. As part of “Lunch Box Weather,” a WBTV program that brings meteorologists directly into local schools, First Alert Meteorologist Paul Heggen spent time with students teaching them about weather patterns, climate safety and the science behind forecasting. He also explained how weather broadcasts are put together and discussed extreme weather events, including tornadoes and hurricanes.
Of course, the students had plenty of questions. They asked Heggen everything from “How many tornadoes happen in a year?” to the question on many young minds: “How much snow can we expect this winter?”—with hopes of a few snow days ahead!
Heggen was joined by fellow WBTV personality Jana Angel, host of QC Life. Angel interviewed Oakridge teachers Kaitlyn Hodges and Sarah Chase as part of the station’s visit. Check out the interview at https://www.wbtv.com/livestream/ (9/30 at 3 p.m.)
The WBTV team also brought a special surprise for the students—First Alert lunch boxes for every fourth grader.
The visit provided a fun and engaging learning experience while helping students better understand the science of weather and the importance of being prepared for severe weather. It was a wonderful example of how community partners can bring real-world learning experiences directly into our schools and inspire students to explore the world around them.
