Sun City residents meet the challenge to ‘Fill the Bus’

The Hardeeville Public Works building served as a sorting and distribution center for school supplies to Hardeeville Elementary and Royal Live Oaks Academy.

By Katherine Mace CONTRIBUTOR

“We have to help. It’s for the kids,” said Chris Chase of the recent efforts of Sun City residents to provide school supplies for local students.

Chase, who is in her second year organizing Sun City’s south side neighborhoods, joins north-sider Beth Williams to coordinate the annual Fill the Bus Campaign to collect school supplies for Ridgeland and Hardeeville schools.

The endeavor started years ago when late Hardeeville councilman and Sun City resident David Spisso put a collection box in the Lake House. Community participation has expanded exponentially, and this year includes residents of Sun City, Margaritaville, Riverton Point, Hilton Head Lakes and other surrounding communities.

Fill the Bus contributions increased every year, and quickly outgrew the trunks and backseats of the organizers. Now a school bus and a truck with trailer do the pick-ups.

On June 20, the truck and trailer wound through eight neighborhoods on the south

side of Sun City, stopping along the way to be loaded with collected school supplies, before heading to Ridgeland Elementary School.

Simultaneously, a school bus made pickups in 17 neighborhoods on the north side of Sun City, and other communities, on route to the Hardeeville Public Works building where 25 volunteers came to sort the supplies before taking them to Hardeeville Elementary School and Royal Live Oaks Academy of Arts and Sciences Charter School (RLOA.) Partners in coordinating the event are Jennifer Combs, Hardeeville Recreation and Tourism director, and Harry Williams, Mayor of Hardeeville and a Sun City resident.

“You have to understand generational poverty exists in Jasper County. We do everything we can to help families stretch their budgets,” Williams said. “Fill the Bus serves 2,700 Jasper County public school students and 700 kids at the charter school Royal Live Oaks Academy. We usually get enough to supply the kids at the start and enough to

SUPPLIES from page 4SC support the teacher throughout the year.”

This project is very personal for Chase.

Her mother was a single mom with three kids. “I didn’t realize it until I got older, but my mom struggled to take care of us. My first school memory was in fourth grade. It was so sad,” she said. “I remember the first day of school, and everyone in my class had beautiful supplies when they came to school. I had a yellow pad my mom got from her work, and a pen. The teacher said I was unprepared, and I was sent to the principal’s office. I was the only one who did not have everything I needed, and I was embarrassed.”

Chase said that memory resurfaced during the Fill the Bus campaign. “My feelings came back when we presented the supplies we collected to the vice principal, Heather McDonough, at Ridgeland Elementary School,” she said. “She watered up and so did I. She talked about the kids who do not have things, but are too proud to ask.”

Patricia Wilson is one of several Sun City residents who work at one of these schools.

Wilson, who is going into her 50th year teaching first graders, is on the faculty at

RLOA. “I tell the kids about where the supplies come from. I tell them that these things are brand new supplies; they are not handme-downs,” Wilson said. “The people who gave the supplies wanted children they don’t even know, to have brand new school supplies. I wish the donors could see the children’s faces and the teacher’s faces when they walk into the gym and see all the supplies! It’s amazing. The children and teachers are very appreciative.”

Principal Renata Johnson-Green of Ridgeland Elementary School echoed this. “We greatly appreciate the supplies. They benefit so many of our students,” she said. “We have 849 Pre-K though fifth graders. We got book bags from the United Way, and we are able to fill them with school supplies. It is wonderful. We feel like we were all being taken care of!”

Trailing behind the caravan collecting supplies in the Sun City neighborhoods provided a great opportunity to ask participants about their favorite school supplies.

For Wayne and Cathy Salkowicz, it’s backpacks. They collected 22. “Every little

kid needs a back pack,” Cathy said.

Frank and Cynthia Lawless had stuff stacked in their living room for weeks, because you can’t leave glue sticks in a hot garage. “My favorite school supply is paper,” Cynthia said. “You can do so much with it.

You can write, fold origami, doodle, and practice your cursive!”

Donna Kirow taught special education for 20 years in Pittsburgh. “I like the colored pencils and crayons, and of course we need lots of Kleenexes and glue sticks,” she said.

At the end of the day, after talking to scores of volunteers and donors, the handsdown favorite of all school supplies is crayons … especially the red ones that still have a point.

Barbara Dempsey picked crayons and paper as her favorites. She is from the Garden Walk neighborhood, which was one of the last to have their stash of supplies picked up. “I don’t want any child to feel embarrassed. It really does take a village.”

CONSIDERING A KNEE OR JOINT REPLACEMENT? THE LEADERS IN RESTORATIVE MEDICINE

HILTON HEAD ISLAND FOR OVER 30 YEARS Over one million joint replacements are performed in the U.S. each year and according to the Cleveland Clinic, over 85% of knee replacements need to be redone within 15 years. Since 2018 the Fraum Center for Restorative Health has been one of the only facilities in the United States, offering a non-surgical alternative to joint replacement that is Beyond Stem Cells™. This future of healthcare, cutting edge technology helps patients get back to living the life they love.

WHAT IS RESTORATIVE MEDICINE? Restorative medicine involves using Human Cellular Tissue Products (HCTPs) to help the body heal itself.

Through restorative medicine, damaged tissue in joints are supplemented with healthy structural tissue to provide an opportunity to restore from within.

KNEES, SHOULDERS, AND HIPS Dr. Heather Hinshelwood MD has helped thousands of patients with knees, shoulders, hips and more. The procedure takes only 30 minutes and allows the patient to leave with a simple band-aid over the site.

RESULTS ORIENTED Many patients experience a significant reduction in knee pain within 48 hours due to the reduced inflammation. With restorative medicine therapy, most patients feel maximum results within 10 to 12 weeks and up to 95% within 6 months.
