Posted on by

Marketing & sales manager Clay Singletary discusses the surge in new residential pool construction in Moore County since 2018.  (over 80 pools built in the last 3 years).

Residential pools have increased in popularity due to many factors which include changing demographics, the high cost of pool memberships that are attached to general golf club memberships, and the pandemic which has put a bit of a damper on community pools accessibility.

Clay discusses the difference between the many types of pools and their maintenance guidelines.

Posted on by

Moore Montessori is looking for a new home. Head of School Katherine Rucker and Board Member Taylor Clement join Bill Sahadi to discuss the possibility of moving to the soon-to-be vacant Southern Pines Elementary School Campus on May Street. This deal would present a unique opportunity to preserve the beautiful brick campus that has become a landmark of Southern Pines, maintain the campus as downtown public school and bring exciting educational opportunities and wrap-around services to Southern Pines families.

Head of School, Kathleen Rucker

Board chairperson – Taylor Clement

Moore Montessori (MMCS) is a public charter school in Southern Pines, NC, currently serving students in grades K-3rd. Since founding in 2018, the staff has delivered a high-quality education to a diverse group of students from area. Demand for the school is high: each year hundreds of families apply for the open enrollment lottery for the chance to secure a seat at this desirable public school. One of only 500 public Montessori programs in the United States, the school has a track record of academic success, a racially diverse staff, and economically diverse student body.

In May, The Pilot endorsed MMCS's potential move to the SPES campus. - https://www.thepilot.com/opinion/editorial-an-old-elementary-awaits-new-future/article_d0823586-a1ef-11ea-9e6d-b3e685d71415.html
