After getting extremely close with this coaching staff, talking to my family, and most importantly asking the Lord to give me direction as I made my decision. I’d like to announce my commitment to @CoastalFootball and ball at the beach! @CoachChadwell BAM🎉🦁








Trying hard to figure out what more I can take off my teachers plates right now!






I know we’re supposed to make our decisions based on the needs of the students... but we can never discount the needs of the adults in the school. They’re the ones taking care of the kids. And they want what’s best for students as well.

Congratulations goes out to @WBTWBlitz Grand Strand player of the week for week 2, @NMBAthletics running back Nyliek Livingston, nearly 200 rushing yards and 2 scores in their 35-7 win over South Florence last Friday! Much more at 6 on @WBTWNews13 @mreel25 @NyliekL







This 1st week, or next weeks, of school is/are NOT about academics. The children need to get re-acclimated socially and emotionally to a school that is much different than last September. New rules enforced by masks & plexiglass barriers are NOT normal for kids or adults.

We get one opportunity to make a first impression at the beginning of the school year. Will that impression be? One of compliance and control? Or will it be one of growth, reflection, culture building, and success? #edchat

If you’re struggling today don’t worry. The education world is seeing a lot of tears, frustration, and extremely overwhelmed teachers right now. Trust me you’re not alone and those feelings only show how much YOU CARE.
