PER CURIAM: Joelle T. appeals her adjudication of delinquency for disturbing schools, arguing the family court judge erred in denying her motion for a directed verdict.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities: S.C. Code Ann. § 16-17-420(1)(a) (2003) ("It shall be unlawful . . . for any person willfully or unnecessarily . . . to interfere with or to disturb in any way . . . the students or teachers of any school . . . ."); In the Interest of Bruce O., 311 S.C. 514, 515, 429 S.E.2d 858, 859 (Ct. App. 1993) (reviewing the denial of a directed verdict motion for acquittal on a delinquency adjudication, an appellate court must affirm if any evidence reasonably tends to prove the guilt of the accused). 

AFFIRMED.

HUFF, KONDUROS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.
