Clover School District's littlest learners were back in the swing of things today as the Bright Beginnings program hosted its first "Play to Grow" session of the new year.
Today's guest reader was Lead Speech Language Pathologist Michelle Mallen. She read "Snowmen at Night" to the children and shared information with parents about how she and the Special Services Department can serve as a resource for parents with concerns about their children's development.

Lake Wylie High School (LWHS) has named its first Head Football Coach.
The Clover School District (CSD) Board of Education met in a special called meeting this morning to approve the hiring of the Chargers’ first football coach.
Nicholas Pelham was appointed to be the first football coach at Lake Wylie High School. He is currently the Head Football Coach and Athletic Director of White Knoll High School in Lexington, SC.
During his tenure at White Knoll, Pelham was named the 2023 SCACA Football Coach of the Year and was a 2024 nominee for the NHSASA National Football Coach of the Year. Pelham’s Timberwolves were the State 5A Runner Up in 2023, capping off an undefeated regular season.
Prior to working at White Knoll High School, Pelham served as the Defensive Coordinator for Dutch Fork High School in Irmo; Defensive Coordinator and Associate Head Coach for Westwood High School in Blythewood; Defensive Coordinator for Richland Northeast High School in Columbia; Assistant Coach at Dutch Fork High School; Defensive Coordinator for Owosso High School in Owosso, MI; Defensive Coordinator for Tecumseh High School in Tecumseh, MI; and Assistant Football Coach for Onsted High School in Onsted, MI.
“We were clear from the start- Lake Wylie football is going to be tough, disciplined, and built to compete. Nick Pelham is the coach to make that happen. He demands accountability, brings a physical brand of football, and isn’t afraid to set high standards from day one. Coach Pelham knows how to build a program the right way, and he will establish a culture of physicality, toughness, and pride that our players and community can stand behind,” said Lake Wylie High School Athletic Director Steven Peeler.
Pelham holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in History from Adrian College in Adrian, MI; and a Master of Arts degree in Educational Leadership from Capella University.

Thanks so much to our Clover community for bundling up and coming out to Memorial Stadium last night for The Pride of Clover Marching Band's Send Off to the Rose Bowl Parade.
The band performed an excerpt of their field show that they will share at Band Fest with the other marching bands taking part in the Rose Bowl Parade. They performed a medley of holiday music and paused to accept the traveling trophy from Western Carolina University, where The Pride of Clover won the Grand Champion award earlier this fall.
The group of 270 musicians then demonstrated the parade maneuvers they will perform in Pasadena on January 1 by circling the football field.
Be sure to tune into the 137th Tournament of Roses Parade on Thursday, January 1, at 11 a.m. eastern time to see the marching band shine in the international spotlight!
