Titan Tidbits!

Good afternoon, Titan Family,

Today was truly one of the most rewarding days under the big top! In partnership with the Tega Cay Lion's Club and Tega Cay Live, our campus transformed into a full-scale meal packaging powerhouse for Rise Against Hunger! With roughly 685 students, 195 parent and community volunteers, and 95 teachers and staff, we hit our goal of packaging 20,000 meals for families facing food insecurity!

Seeing each of you, as well as our students, serve alongside parents, community members, police officers, and firefighters was a powerful reminder of what makes our Titan family so special. Thank you to everyone who showed up, supported, and cheered on our students today! I hope you enjoyed the day, we're already gearing up for next year!

Our October student attendance was 97.71%—the highest in the entire district across all elementary, middle, and high schools! Numbers like that don't happen because kids love waking up early; they happen because of you. Kids want to be here every day because you greet them with a smile, make learning fun, and make them feel like they matter. Thank you for making our building a place our kids genuinely love coming to!

Titans together,

Brigitte, Danielle, and Ron
