Whereas, at V.V. Reid School, the faculty and administration emphasize the importance of communication between the parents or guardians and the teachers for the continuation of the child's education and quality care; and
Whereas, the V.V. Reid School has educated more than forty-five thousand students over its fifty-four years, who have gone on to become academic and community leaders throughout the State; and
Whereas, the V.V. Reid School in celebration of its rich history is observing its first school reunion on May 25, 2007, at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly share the pride of past and present students, faculty, and staff of V.V. Reid School on these milestones in honoring an educational institution that has been instrumental. Now, therefore,
