Simpsonville woman gets surprise parade outside her home from coworkers while fighting breast cancer
on October 1, 2020 at 5:54 pm
This year has been filled with surprises, especially for one Simpsonville family. Kelly Nix was diagnosed with breast cancer in May. But she finished her last chemo treatment yesterday. To celebrate, her coworkers at NAI Earle Forman surprised her with a drive-by parade, just in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Dozens of friends and coworkers gathered at the Sports Club parking lot Thursday morning before parading through town to Nix’s home. “When she found out she had cancer we wanted to figure out a way to support her,” said Organizer Jessica Wall. Car after car, shouts and honks filled the Poinsettia Neighborhood in support, with special guests Pinkie the Patrol Car from Simpsonville and the pink Berea fire unit. Nix and her family waved back in amazement. “I’m blown away, at a loss for words and that’s not me,” said Kelly Nix. “I consider them my family. They’ve always been there for me.” Nix is now finished with her chemo treatments. She’s set for surgery next month. She wants other people facing the same battle to know: “Just be positive and strong. You’re a fighter. You will get through this.” Meanwhile Jessica Wall, who organized Thursday’s parade says, “We wanted her to know even when we’re not together we’re together.”

Greenville Co. Schools given initial approval from DHEC to test plexiglass dividers between elementary students
on October 1, 2020 at 4:56 pm
GREENVILLE, SC (FOX Carolina) - Greenville County Schools announced Thursday they are working with DHEC, school principals, and other school employees to "test the viability of plexiglass dividers in elementary school classrooms." GCS said DHEC has given initial approval on these dividers, which would allow up to four students wearing masks to sit at one table with only three-feet of social distance between them. "Each cluster of students would be separated by six feet," elaborated GCS spokesman Tim Waller in a news release. "And because of how these dividers are designed, if one child were to test positive for COVID-19, the other three who shared their table would not have to be quarantined so long as safety protocols were followed." Waller said the district has also sent a survey to teachers to get their input on plexiglass and the possibility of adding more in-person days for students. "The results of this survey will guide us in our decision-making. We expect to receive those results Monday afternoon with a possible announcement on Tuesday," Waller said.
