Trinity Christian Academy opens

Temple Christian Academy in Darlington County started the new school year on Sept. 8 with many safety precautions in place. The 4-year-old kindergarten class at Temple Christian, seen here, features FlexProTek desk shields to help keep students safe. The teacher, Rebekah Paschal, says students adjusted easily to the shields. The shields allow a better learning environment while at the same time protecting the teacher and classmates, the school says. Other safety measures are also in place in accordance with DHEC guidelines. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
