The South Carolina School Boards Association presented its Champion for Public Education award to Greater Things Ministry for sustained volunteer support, school-supply drives and student assistance; a ministry representative urged community members to reach out when students lack basic needs.
At the Clover School District board meeting, the South Carolina School Boards Association presented its Champion for Public Education award to the Greater Things Ministry of Lake Valley Christian Assembly Church, citing the group's years of volunteer service and student support programs. SCSBA president Charles Govan said the award recognizes "businesses, nonprofit organizations, and individuals who make a significant contribution in support of public schools." He highlighted the ministry's work filling service gaps across the district.
A ministry representative accepted the award and described direct community support that prompted the recognition. "I didn't know this award was even available, guys, and I appreciate it very much," the representative said, and urged community members to contact the ministry when children lack essentials such as shoes or backpacks. The district superintendent thanked the organization's leaders and noted the partnership as a model for other districts.
