The Clarendon Scene ... as seen in Clarendon

The Knights of Columbus of Our Lady of Hope presented a $1,893.13 check to the Clarendon County Disabilities and Special Needs Board on Feb. 26, 2008. Pictured are DSN Director of Nursing Carole Utley, Interim Director Dr. James Christian, Knights of Columbus Manning Coordinator Joe Doherty and DSN Residential Director Gordon Shephard. A group of very talented Scott’s Branch Middle School students in grades 6-8 performed a fantastic program honoring famous African-Americans for this year’s Black History celebration on Friday, Feb. 24, 2008. Under the direction of two sixth grade teachers, Mrs. Sharon Livingston and Mrs. Alfreda Richardson, students recited poems, speeches, and sang songs such as “Ain’t I a Woman” by Sojourner Truth, “I Have A Dream” by Dr. Martin Luther King, and “We Shall Overcome.” The program also included a “living museum” of other noted African-Americans that students could walk through at the program’s conclusion. Harriet Tubman, Oprah Winfrey, Selena Williams, Tiger Woods, Ray Charles, Dr. Charles Drew, Alicia Keyes and Halle Berry were just a few of the “statues” portrayed by the students. Even “Barack Obama” made his appearance in hopes of becoming the first African-American president! SBMS Principal Specialist, Dr. Gwendolyn Hudson Harris was thrilled with the outcome and very proud of the students participating in the program. “I could not be any prouder. The teachers and students have done a superb job!”

The Clarendon County Master Gardeners work with the Clemson Extension Service to educate residents regarding horticulture and help to beautify our communities.
