SCHOOL YOUR WAY!
SC Whitmore School students enjoy the benefits of learning at a virtual school. Students can create their own schedules, learn at their own pace and work from anywhere. This can be hard to imagine for students coming from a traditional brick and mortar school.
Who is a good fit?
SC Whitmore School is a great fit for many students. Perhaps you are an accelerated student and wish to graduate early, or you need more time to find academic success. Perhaps you need a flexible school schedule to chase other dreams. Being a virtual school, SC Whitmore School can offer a unique learning environment for students.

Debra is a native of South Carolina and recently moved from the Irmo area to the Chapin area. She started her painting career approximately 15 years ago, beginning with pen and pencil drawings, and progressing to the pastel medium in order to capture the vibrant colors she saw in nature. In her paintings, she incorporates liberal touches of color and texture, unusual angles, and detailed drawing to capture movement and life in her subjects. Debra is a member of the Crooked Creek Art League, a “Member of Excellence” of the Southeastern Pastel Society in Atlanta, and an Associate Member of the Pastel Society of America in New York.

The subject of this painting was one of the lorikeets in the interactive walk-through aviary at Riverbanks Zoo. The striking rainbow colors and lively antics of these friendly birds attract many visitors to the zoo every year. The lorikeet was painted from an unusual angle on its branch, as it worked the crowd for attention and food. This piece is pastel on pastel paper.

They have a high volume of clients in need of services, but also experience lower financial and food donations, so your help is crucial to allow them to continue to meet the needs of our
neighbors in need.
Collection bins are located throughout Chapin at the library, Crooked Creek Park, some local churches,

We Care is incredibly grateful for your support!

On July 5th, National Hawaii Day recognizes the 50th state to be granted statehood.
Eight islands make up The Aloha State, the largest of which is named Hawaii. The islands of Maui, Oahu, and Kauai are the next in size followed by Molokai, Lanai, Nihau, and Kahoolawe.
Nearly 2,000 years ago, Polynesians navigated the Pacific ocean in double-hulled vessels from the west. Captain James Cook sailed to the islands in 1778 and would later meet his death on the big island.
For generations, Hawaii ruled by the hand of the Kamehameha dynasty.

While Hawaii is the 50th state to join the Union, it has long been a strategic military installation.
Its location in the
Pacific
has been vital to U.S. Naval operations for decades. On December 7, 1941,
the surprise Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor
shocked the nation and propelled the
United States into World War II.
The islands’ beauty and traditions consistently
draw visitors for rest and relaxation.
Hawaii’s pristine beaches,
majestic volcanoes
, and exotic atmosphere speak to a richly diverse heritage that is welcoming and fascinating. Dance, music, and song taught from one generation to the next keep traditions alive in a lush environment surrounded by
ancient history

NATIONAL APPLE TURNOVER DAY
|
On July 5th of each year, National Apple Turnover Day is observed.
To celebrate, enjoy this delicious American treat which was first served in the 19th century.
Also called hand pies because they are so portable, apple turnovers are a pastry made by placing apple filling on a piece of dough, folding the dough over, sealing it, then baking them. Although most turnovers are baked, they can also be fried.
HOW TO OBSERVE
To celebrate National Apple Turnover Day, try this
Apple Turnover recipe
and share them with your family and friends.

NATIONAL GRAHAM CRACKER DAY
|
National Graham Cracker Day is observed annually on July 5th. The graham cracker was originally invented as a “health food” as part of the “Graham Diet”. Developed by Presbyterian minister, Sylvester Graham in the early 1800s, graham crackers were originally made from whole-wheat graham flour with added bran and wheat germs. The minister believed this snack would curb a variety of sinful cravings.
Modern graham crackers are made with bleached white flour and come in a variety of flavors including honey, cinnamon and chocolate. While a delicious snack on their own, they are also terrific ingredients for desserts. Crushed graham crackers blended with butter and pressed into pie tins or springform pans make excellent crusts when lightly toasted.
One of the most popular treats made with graham crackers is the S’more.

Since July 5th, 1946, women have been hitting the beaches and poolsides in bikinis. National Bikini Day marks the anniversary of the invention of the revealing
two-piece bathing suit.
Named after the Bikini Atoll where the United States conducted atomic tests, the two piece bathing suit made its debut in Paris. French designer Louis Reard wanted to name revealing bits of fabric “atom”.
Sunbathers were wearing modest two-piece suits by World Wart II in the United States, but they hardly revealed the amount of skin the bikini revealed on July 5, 1946. While Europe enthusiastically donned the bikini after a long and
arduous world war, American’s sense of decency kept them from accepting the bikini until the 1960s.
