Senate welcomes Pinewood Prep state champions and AMIkids delegation for 2026 Legislative Day
Summary
Senators recognized Pinewood Preparatory Academy’s 3A state football champions and welcomed an AMIkids delegation visiting the Capitol for Legislative Day, with members noting the programs’ educational and rehabilitative work.
The Senate paused routine business to recognize visiting student groups. Members welcomed Pinewood Preparatory Academy’s football team after their Class 3A state championship, named coaches and school leaders and announced a resolution to honor the team.
Senator from Dorchester noted the Panthers beat Wilson Hall 55–13 in the championship and praised coaches and school administrators in the gallery. "We're proud of what you did," he said, and invited the coach to meet the chamber for a resolution presentation.
Later, the Senate welcomed a delegation from AMIkids participating in the day’s Legislative Day programming. Senator Teder introduced AMIkids staff and described the nonprofit’s mission to help court-involved youth through education, workforce development and behavioral-health supports, and noted they operate under a contract with the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice.
Why it matters: These recognitions highlight civic engagement initiatives — a school athletics milestone and a nonprofit’s efforts to connect youth with policy and rehabilitation programs.
What’s next: Senators encouraged the visitors to continue engaging with lawmakers and recognized the work of program leaders in the gallery.
