A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE PINEVIEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL UPON THE OCCASION OF ITS FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are pleased to recognize Pineview Elementary School as it celebrates this important milestone on April 29, 2018; and

Whereas, Pineview School had its beginnings in the early 1900s when two schools, Delingo and Halfway, were combined. The original school was named for the pine woods surrounding it; and

Whereas, Pineview as it currently stands opened in 1968. The new school was built on the original site, with the addition of 4.1 acres. Pineview opened with Mr. Gunter as principal and with a faculty of ten teachers and a librarian. The staff consisted of a secretary, janitor, maid, and three lunchroom workers; and

Whereas, with the growth of the surrounding residential areas, the school added classrooms in 1974 and 1978. Members of the faculty participated in the planning of this classroom addition; and

Whereas, Pineview's current principal, David Sims, has served in this capacity since 2012. He will be the new principal at Riverbank Elementary, which combines Pineview and Brookland-Cayce Grammar School No. 1 and will open in August 2018. Karen Embler has served as assistant principal since 2008; and

Whereas, current board members include Linda Alford-Wooten, Bill Bingham, Jr., ElizaBeth Branham, Brad Giles, Cynthia "Cindy" Kessler, Catherine "Cay" Kessler, and Kevin Key. The district superintendent is Dr. William B. James, Jr.; and

Whereas, the mission of Pineview Elementary School is to grow lifelong readers, writers, and problem solvers. Pineview aims to be a regionally recognized site for best practices and achievement and is guided by a belief that every decision and action must be based on the needs of students, emphasizing collaborative learning experiences and community involvement; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are grateful for the dedicated serviced of Pineview Elementary School to the Lexington County community and the State of South Carolina. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate Pineview Elementary School upon the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Pineview Elementary School.
