Greenville County Schools recently revised its long-range facilities plan. Here’s what GCS plans to update and change at local schools (and how much it will cost):
$62.2 million to demolish and replace the J. Harley Bonds Career Center
$21 million for robotic sweepers and scrubbers for school cleaning
$9.6 million to extend the car rider loops at Bethel Elementary, Bryson Elementary, Greenbrier Elementary, Skyland Elementary, and Wade Hampton High School
$6 million to improve first responder radio communication
$5.7 million to upgrade stadium lighting systems with LED fixtures
Plus, construction on the new West Greenville High School has been accelerated by two years, with students expected in the halls by 2031.

Civic
The City of Mauldin has a new city logo, built from four interlocking M’s, designed to read as a star, crossroads, or burst of energy — depending on your perspective. Officials say blue signals trust, magenta-red reflects creativity, and the overall mark represents unity, momentum, and hometown pride. (FOX Carolina)

Coy is described as... | Photo by the Greenville Humane Society
“Coy is a one-year-old bull terrier mix who’s been waiting far too patiently for his perfect people,” the Greenville Humane Society says about our Pet of the Week. “We just can’t figure out why they haven’t found him yet.”
Coy enjoys laying on your lap, playing chase with his fellow dog friends, or just getting the zoomies with the humans.
“He’s goofy, he’s affectionate, he’s adorably stubborn, and a total lovebug who just wants to be part of a family,” GHS says.

The set was made in collaboration with Broadway performers and delivers all-day comfort with ultra-stretchy fabric that supports without restrictive compression, all while featuring a dynamic design that enhances your natural contours.
I am thrilled to share Springer, our very first Pet of the Week, was adopted. If you’re reading this and brought him home, reply to this email — we’d love an update.
