Woodland Middle School students in Ms. Thompson’s class are being celebrated for their outstanding work designing and producing custom shirts for Clayton Homes of Walterboro! 🙌
As part of a class-based small business project, these talented students launched their own t-shirt business and demonstrated exceptional dedication by meeting a real-world client deadline with professionalism and creativity. Their high-quality designs earned recognition on Clayton Homes’ official Facebook page and were also featured in The Press and Standard following interviews with company employees.
Clayton Homes was thoroughly impressed with both the design and quality of the shirts. Dorchester School District Four is proud of Ms. Thompson and her students for representing Woodland Middle with excellence and entrepreneurial spirit! 👏👏

Ebonie Ervin from Clay Hill Elementary School

These professionals do more than manage our libraries; they create welcoming environments that foster curiosity, support academic achievement, and inspire a lifelong love of reading. Their unwavering dedication and innovative approaches profoundly impact both students and faculty.
"Libraries store the energy that fuels the imagination. They open up windows to the world and inspire us to explore and achieve and contribute to improving our quality of life. Libraries change lives for the better." ~ Sidney Sheldon
