"Our Florence 1 Nurses have met the challenges created by the pandemic with calmness, dependability, competence and compassion. They have worked to keep our students safe, healthy and engaged in learning by providing daily care to the multitude of students who visit the health office for either urgent or routine visits. Florence 1 Schools truly has an amazing team of hard-working nurses and we thank them for their dedication to their profession and to Florence 1."

Elizabeth Holzbach, Florence 1 Schools Lead Nurse

The University of South Carolina's Family Engagement Center is offering a leadership program for South Carolina families. Click here to learn more. The program seeks to be made known to local families and through local social media.

The Family Engagement Center aims to strengthen the abilities of families to take greater leadership roles in their children's education and build relationships with other parents through its Parent Leadership Partners (PLP) program.

Parents are positioned to learn new strategies, build leadership skills, and be equipped to more effectively advocate for their children, families, and communities. A Train the Trainer program has been developed so that South Carolina administrators, community members, parents, and/or teachers interested in learning how to facilitate a PLP program can do so.
