Did you Know...
Last week's
question was about the "Blythewood Institute" which Kem S.
knew was a finishing school for girls, owned and operated by the
Bookhart family during the Civil War. Kem will receive a Town
of Blythewood treat for being the first to answer the question!
Do you Know....Our Town was first known as Doko. It changed to
Blythewood in approxiamately 1877. Why was the name changed and
why did it change to Blythewood?
Again,
congratulations to all the talented students and teachers in our Town
of Blythewood! French Contest National Winners, National
History Day Winners, Graphics Award Winner, Spanish Exam National
Winners, and many others! Plus... PASS testing is over for
another school year! Thanks to all the teachers and students
who worked hard in this endeavor!
And
Congrats to our Mayor! USC picks the best!
And...
Good luck to all the students who interviewed for the Greater
Blythewood Chamber of Commerce's scholarship! Mr. Mobley was on the
mark with his editorial in the Chronicle. A great group of applicants
came through Town Hall to interview!
And... As an
involved community member check out Richland School District 2's
website! They are asking for ideas, concerns and success
stories from the community to help provide the best education for our
students. Now is your chance to share! May 20th, 6:00 at
Bridge Creek Elementary School located at 121 Bombing Range Road in
Elgin.
