Daniel Island students use their voices to bring change to their school

(WCSC) - Berkeley County Council allocated $100,000 to Daniel Island School and it’s all thanks to a group of students advocating for their classmates.When eighth-grader Emily Hughes was elected as student council president, she knew she wanted to make a difference at her school.

DANIEL ISLAND, S.C. (WCSC) - Berkeley County Council allocated $100,000 to Daniel Island School and it’s all thanks to a group of students advocating for their classmates.
When eighth-grader Emily Hughes was elected as student council president, she knew she wanted to make a difference at her school. She said in years past, student council members were not able to turn their ideas into a reality, but she wanted to change that.
“This year I think we can actually get something and get it done,” Hughes said.
With the help of sixth-grade vice president Keegan McGivern and fifth-grade members Sara Whitley and Olive Abney, they were able to do just that. The student council got together and jotted down ideas that they wanted to implicate. Hughes said that Abney noticed a classmate who was unable to use the playground equipment at recess due to a physical disability, so he spent his recess reading inside. Hughes said it saddened her that recess was not something he enjoyed in the same way she was able to.
“It was upsetting because we could all use it. I loved playgrounds, like my whole life. And whenever other students can’t enjoy it the same way, we just want them to be included too,” she said.
Together, the student council decided that they wanted to create an inclusive playground. They knew this would be an expensive endeavor, so they first teamed up with their school’s Beta Club members to host a Valentine’s Day-themed fundraiser. Through that, they were able to raise $588, but these students were ambitious. They wanted to take it a step further.
The students got together again to propose a letter to Berkeley County Council. Less than a week after the letter was submitted, the council invited the students to speak at Monday’s council meeting.
“It all happened really fast,” Hughes said.
Hughes took to the podium to share their ideas with the council members. She told them how they didn’t want any students to be left out at recess anymore. District 2 Councilman and Finance Committee Chair Josh Whitley made a motion to allocate $100,000 to the school to get this new, accessible equipment. The motion passed unanimously, and the students received high praise from Berkeley County Supervisor Johnny Cribb for their efforts.
“We were all so amazed and excited. It was really exciting and fun,” Hughes said with a grin on her face.
The students’ principals and staff could not have been prouder. The actions of these students hit home for Assistant Principal Jay Burnsworth.
“The biggest thing for me is, and it makes me really emotional in a lot of ways, is that my own son has special needs. And at the end of the day, these kids are doing it for everyone, for the community - not just Daniel Island School, but everyone,” Burnsworth said. “As a father, as an administrator, friend, dad, everybody, I’m just really proud of these kids.”
Once the playground is open, it will be open to the entire community, not just the students of the school.
Burnsworth was not the only one beaming with pride for these four kids. Principal Laura Blanchard shared her praises.
“We just thought it was great that our students recognized that need and wanted all of their friends to be able to play alongside them to the point that they would take action in the way that they did,” she said.
Blanchard and Burnsworth think that the playground will be an incredible physical reminder to the children, for many years to come, that they were able to make a difference.
“It’s really neat to see them empowered in that way. And it’s such a good and positive way,” Blanchard said.
She shared that this was a wonderful learning experience for these kids.
“They learned from the adults in their community that they have a voice. And that we are going to come alongside them and help put feet to their dreams,” Blanchard said.
Blanchard and Burnsworth said that they are already working on initiating the process. They emphasized that they want the students to be fully involved every step of the way. While they are working on the design process, they plan to take the students to different accessible playgrounds in the area so that they can get some ideas. Blanchard said that this is the children’s space, and she wants it to be representative of them, so they should be the ones to decide what is needed.
Hughes expressed some ideas she already had. She said that she would love to have rubber flooring to make wheelchair access easier. She would also love to have wheelchair-accessible swings put in. They also plan to add a sensory garden to the community garden that already exists.
Hughes said she is excited about the next steps.
“We all thought there was space to grow in this area,” she said. “This is something important that needs to happen. So, it was worth it.”

Bridge replacement project on time with no delays, say city officials

The Beresford Creek Bridge replacement project is proceeding on schedule with an anticipated completed date in April 2024, according to the city website and statements from city officials.
Construction, which began on Aug. 15, 2023, was expected to take nine months to complete.
An April completion date puts it within the nine-month construction timeframe, despite contractors encountering a couple of unexpected utility challenges.
The most recent challenge involved the underground location of pre-existing water lines.
During construction, the contractor discovered the line, which is buried beneath the creek bed, was not installed where the plans showed.
City Councilman Boyd Gregg explained that the project engineer, Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson (JMT), Inc., designed the bridge pilings to avoid the water line based on plans from when the line was installed, which he estimated to have been laid some 30 years ago.
Gregg said that despite the discrepancy between planned and actual, the contractor was able to drive the pilings and the project was not delayed.
Rob Williams, the city of Charleston Site Development Manager, confirmed there are no delays on the project.
Another previous utility issue arose in September when the gas main needed to be extended about 421 feet.
“This alteration is in response to a nearby commercial building expressing interest in accessing natural gas,” said Virginia Jones, senior project manager at Dominion Energy.
Neither the waterline nor gas line changes slowed the progress of the bridge replacement, according to city officials.
The bridge has been closed to pedestrian and vehicle traffic since Cape Romain Contractors began construction in August 2023. The closure leaves only the two I-526 ramps as options for access to the island by auto. The new bridge will feature two travel lanes along with a multi-use path on one side.
The project’s aim is to lessen traffic and provide a safer crossing for commuters.
According to the city’s January project update, significant milestones have been achieved since the last update in November.
Those milestones include the completion of all piles, the formation and setting of the rebar cage pile cap known as EB4, and the ongoing process of laying decking for Spans A and B.
“It was thought that a valve would need to be installed prior to driving the final piling for End Bent EB4,” Williams said. “However, the contractor was able to drive the pile without installing the valve and it all got worked out.”
