Cape Romain Charter School

There is movement to start a new Charter School with an Environmental Education theme.  It is a parent driven, public charter school that is being proposed to serve McClellanville, Awendaw and the surrounding area.  The School’s mission statement:

“To teach a diverse population of children in McClellanville, Awendaw, and the surrounding areas in a safe and supportive learning environment in which families and students are encouraged to be actively involved in the educational process, foster individual growth, and promote respect for self, others, and the natural environment in which they live.”

There have been two preliminary informational meetings which has generated a significant amount of interest.  Currently there are just under 100 students that have already signed up.   There will be volunteers manning booths at the Seewee Outpost, Bulls Bay Supply, McClellanville Dollar General and other locations in the near future to help get the word out.

This is just the first of many partnerships that  will be possible because of the unique location between the Francis Marion National Forest and the Cape Romain Wildlife Refuge.

If you are interested in helping with the formation of the school or have children that you feel would benefit from a new school in the McClellanville and Awendaw area, please visit the Contact page and fill out the questionnaire.

Visit the Village Museum

McClellanville has a hidden jewel that is worth looking for.  The Village Museum, tucked away between the Town Hall budand the Town Playground, was started in 1999 and director Bud Hill has turned his little project into one of the best small museums around.  The museum chronicles the history of the entire St. James Santee area from the original Native American inhabitants through today.  There are many well crafted, informative exhibits.

The museum is located at 401 Pinckney Street in McClellanville, near the end of Pinckney Street.   Hours are Thursday, Friday and Saturday 10 am- 5 pm (Closed 12-1 for lunch, Bud’s gotta eat).

There is a moderate fee to enter the museum, but members enter free.  Joining the museum has other benefits including the annual oyster roast.  This years oyster roast is going to be November 7th starting at 6 pm.  Its not too late to join and participate in this annual tradition under the Town Hall.

This weekend, Saturday October 24th, 2009 at 7:00 pm at the McClellanville Town Hall, the Village Museum presents a presentation by Dr. Walter Bonner, “Physicians and other Healers of St James, Santee Parish and McClellanville.”
