Students representing elementary and intermediate schools from across Spartanburg County were recognized for their good character and citizenship last month at the Kiwanis Club’s annual Terrific Kid of the Year luncheon. The following students represented District One at this year's banquet:

Holly Springs-Motlow Elementary - Dalton Mahaffey
Inman Elementary School - Leah Shnitser
Inman Intermediate School - Rylan Green
New Prospect Elementary - Julianna Coates
O.P. Earle Elementary - Sydney Price
Terrific Kids is a student-recognition program that promotes character development, self-esteem, and perseverance. “TERRIFIC” is an acronym for Thoughtful, Enthusiastic, Respectful, Responsible, Inclusive, Friendly, Inquisitive, and Capable. Students work with their classroom teacher to establish goals for positive behavior, peer relationships, attendance, or school work. Congratulations to this incredible group of students and thank you for representing District One so positively!

District One students, Tek Stephens and Joe Mulet, participated in the Junior Achievement Titan Challenge and Skills Workshops, claiming second place and earning a $2,025 scholarship!
Approximately 100 students, in teams of 2-4 members, applied learned business concepts during a competitive virtual simulation to make decisions that affect a company’s bottom line. The competition is uniquely designed to unleash student creativity, test leadership skills, necessitate collaboration, critical thinking, and individual and group decision-making, as well as demonstrating the competitive nature of the free enterprise system.
Only the first and second place teams are able to advance to National competition. Congratulations on this outstanding achievement and for representing District One!
