South Effingham High School: Saturday, May 26th 7 PM
GRADUATION PARKING
ALL GRADUATES must park in the middle school (SEMS) teacher parking lot.
Parking for Graduation is always difficult. To handle a large number of vehicles, Marlow Elementary School will open their parking lot, and Effingham County Schools will run shuttle buses from Marlow to SEHS for Graduation. The shuttles will resume from SEHS to Marlow after Graduation. Please utilize this service that is being provided.
Passengers will be dropped off from the shuttle buses at the stadium so you will not have far to walk.
Shuttles will begin at 5:30 PM. The last shuttle before Graduation ceremonies will depart Marlow at 7:00 PM. Graduation begins at 7:00 PM.
After Graduation, shuttles will begin running at 8:30 and continue until everyone has been returned to their vehicles.
If you park on SEHS campus, there are a few details that will assist in the smooth flow of traffic.

Congratulations class of 2018!
Traveling through the state of Georgia you can expect to see the flags and variety of monuments displayed by the huge fan base for the Georgia Bulldogs.
The University of Georgia and their much-loved mascot UGA, an English Bulldog brings in high fan attendance in the South East Conference for college football.
There have been 10 Bulldogs that trace their ancestry back to UGA 1 in 1956.
For the history of UGA the mascot: https://georgiadogs.com/sports/2017/6/16/uga.aspx
In 2008 a BBC documentary, “Pedigree exposed” concluded that bulldogs and other breeds with squat bodies and short snouts may have difficulty breathing and other health problems.
UGA has an air-conditioned doghouse on the sideline with the cheerleaders. The family who owns the dog is looking at breeding options so UGA XI will be more capable of handling the rigorous duty of mascot.

Hurricane season officially starts in the Atlantic on June 1, 2018, and May 15, 2018, in the eastern Pacific.
Hurricane Matthew barreled through the Carribean and up the Florida, Georgia and South Carolina coast. I followed the evacuation order and moved inland approximately 45 miles. Feeling comfortable with my decision I was totally taken off guard with the strength of this power of nature. Awakening to the howling, smashing, cracking, sideways rain in the dark, really frightened me. I had no idea what to expect when the daylight came but I knew it was going to be bad. It was a mess, even with the downgrade to a category one.
I can’t stress enough to be prepared and listen to your local emergency management.

Check to see if your area has a Hurricane Registry like the one offered by the Georgia Department of Health.

Writing today as a mother of five I’ll share some of my parenting tips, passed on from my Grandma and Mom. A core belief I have as a Mom is to offer all the love I could and practice patience at all times. I always stayed in reality and expected at times there would be shenanigans […]

Checking the tide is always helpful when planning a day out on the boat. It’s also helpful for swimmers because the oyster beds can make you say “ouch”….
