School Notes: Mauldin High School

Policy Change for Bus Riders
Due to overcrowding on school buses, it is no longer possible to allow students who are not assigned nor live in the area of bus assignment to ride. There are very few buses that can accommodate extra riders. To keep confusion to a minimum we must deny all but the extreme emergency requests for transportation for unassigned riders.

Sign Up Now for Stampede for Harbor 2013
The seventh annual Mauldin High Spirit Week 5k Run/Walk will be held Saturday, January 26, 2013, at 9 a.m. with the course beginning at Mauldin High on Butler Road in Mauldin. This year’s event, Stampede for Harbor, will benefit Safe Harbor, a non-profit that provides free, safe shelter and support services to victims of domestic violence and their children (http://safeharborsc.org).

The $25 entry fee for Stampede for Harbor runners and walkers includes a t-shirt and refreshments after the race provided by Whole Foods and Chick-fil-A on Woodruff Rd. The fee is the same for “Sleep-in for Harbor”, which provides individuals with the chance to support the cause and receive a t-shirt without participating in the run/walk. Registration for the event is available online at www.active.com where participants can search for “Stampede for Harbor,” click on the event and follow registration instructions. Mail-in registration forms are also available at www.gomavs.net and in Mauldin High’s front office. T-shirts are guaranteed for the first 250 registrants only so individuals are encouraged to register early. Awards will be given to the top male and female finishers and the top finishers in 14 & under; 15-19; 20-29; 30-49; 50-69; and 70 and over.

Mauldin High’s Spirit Week 5k began in 2007 and is held in honor of Beth Clayton, a former Mauldin High student leader who battled myelodysplastic syndrome. For more information about the event please email obaddley1@charter.net.
