BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WECT) – Nearly a dozen teacher jobs are opening in Southport because one school is outgrowing its current location.

Southport Christian School has been located off Highway 133 for more than 17 years.

Now, school leaders are looking for more space because they say there has been a waiting list for students for the past two years.

Last week, the school received the final zoning permits to begin construction on a new building.

The new site will be located behind Beach Road Baptist Church and will offer 16 new classrooms.

The new building allows the school to expand and serve more students. Leaders plan to add a preschool and middle school classes, with plans to add a high school in the near future.

Principal Lisa Kjome says private schools offer parents more options for their child's education.

BOILING SPRING LAKES, NC (WECT) – Spring Lake Park in Boiling Spring Lakes is closed to the public from Thursday, May 9 until Friday, May 24 for safety reasons while production crews film a movie. 

Adobe Pictures, Inc. will be filming various scenes for the feature film, entitled Tammy.

Filming is scheduled for Monday, May 20 and Tuesday, May 21.  Film-related activities could start as early as 6 a.m. to as late as 9 p.m. each day.

In order to achieve what is needed for filming, crews must prepare Spring Lake Park to look like their ‘set' in the movie.  This requires the crews to start prep work on Thursday, May 9.

Their work involves the construction of a temporary dock and other temporary structures.

Currently, there are no plans to do any work on the weekends.  However, they will have security on site day and night.

BOILING SPRING LAKES, NC (WECT) - A major Hollywood production is taking over the city of Boiling Spring Lakes.

For the past two weeks, Spring Lake Park has been closed to the public while crews build a temporary set for the filming.

Starting Monday, Adobe Productions Inc. will be shooting several scenes for the hit film Tammy starring Melissa McCarthy, Susan Sarandon, and Dan Aykroyd.

The park has been transformed into Crawford's Beach Boat and Jet Ski Rental Office, because the script calls for a few summer scenes.

The park will remain closed as film crews plan to shoot on Monday May 21 and Tuesday May 22, weather permitting.

Drivers should be aware of a road closure on Juniper Road between Pine Road and Ash Road on Monday and Tuesday.

The production company has also hired three BSL Police officers who will work on Monday and Tuesday from 6 a.m. -8 p.m. to control traffic and monitor crowds.
