A day for children to honor their mothers is May 12.

There’s no better way to show the woman who carried you for nine months how much she is appreciated, than expressing it in a unique way.

Is your Mom courageous and loving?

Do you have an inspirational Mother’s Day story you would like to share?

If so, send a picture with the reason why your Mom should be named the “Mother of Your Community” to motherofyourcommunity@gmail.com. for a chance to feature her on our WIS Your Community website.

South Carolina sophomore Ben Barnette (Spartanburg, S.C./ Spartanburg High) was named to the SEC Men’s Tennis Community Service Team, the league announced. The conference sponsors community service teams in all 21 sports to highlight student-athletes who give back to their community.

Barnette has been involved in the Columbia area, participating in tennis clinics at area courts and EdVenture. He took part in the Opening Ceremony at Edlympics and volunteered at Lights on After School.
