🚒🔥 Fire Safety Fun at WES! 🔥🚒

Our Dolphins had a wonderful time learning about fire safety and prevention during this week’s visit from our local firefighters! ❤️

Students learned important fire safety lessons in the classroom and had the opportunity to get an up-close look at the fire trucks and equipment. 🚒👨‍🚒

A BIG thank you to our firefighters for taking the time to visit Waccamaw Elementary, teach our students, answer their questions, and help them learn how to stay safe. We appreciate all you do for our community! 💙💛🐬

📸 Here are a few highlights from their visit!

Dream Big. Work Hard. Believe in Yourself. 💙💛

Yesterday, Waccamaw Elementary had the privilege of welcoming Olympian and World Champion Melissa Jefferson-Wooden for a very special visit with our students.

Melissa shared a powerful message about never giving up on your dreams—and never giving up on yourself. She reminded our Dolphins that even the strongest people need a village and encouraged them to lean on one another for help, encouragement, support, and motivation.

During the assembly, our students joined Melissa in reciting “The Village Creed”: a commitment to dream big, work hard, keep trying when things get difficult, believe they can do hard things, and, most importantly, believe in themselves.

We are grateful to Melissa for sharing her story, her encouragement, and her time with our Waccamaw family. We hope our Dolphins carry her message with them long after this special visit. 🏅💙💛
