PELION, S.C. — Students at Pelion Elementary enjoyed learning so much this year that many did not miss one day of school.
Eighteen PES students earned perfect attendance, a milestone the school celebrated at the end of school. Principal Wendy S. West proudly thanked the students and their parents for prioritizing education.
“Attendance is key for a child to be successful in their school careers. Vital things are missed if the child is absent even just one day,” she explained.

Spears and Skyler J. Walker; Third-Graders Andrew E. Northcutt, Avery K. Poole and Jamie L. Wilson; Fourth-Graders Lindsey M. Huckabee, James M. Livingston, Neveah L.
