Boosterthon is Coming! Our biggest fundraiser of the year and build up to the annual Fun Run (Oct 4th) will be kicking off Sept 26th. Check out the attached graphic for how to register now and be ready! Any student who registers on or before kickoff gets to wear their PJs to school on Sept 27th!

The Give Thanks Project, Inc., is a Tega Cay nonprofit that started 10 years ago in honor of our school's very own Jack Walker, who is currently in Ms. Burrell's 4th grade class. When Jack was born with multiple heart defects that required open heart surgery as an infant, his family leaned on The Ronald McDonald House for support and comfort. They were so moved by their experience that they were inspired to help other families who were in similar situations. For the last 10 years, The Give Thanks Project brings care packages to 108 families every year on Thanksgiving in both Chicago and Charlotte. Each of these families are spending their holiday at The Ronald McDonald House because their child is hospitalized and is very ill. The care packages include about $150 in gift cards for stores and restaurants near the hospital as well as things to provide comfort and joy, such as stuffed animals, books, hats, phone chargers, sweet treats, and more. If you are interested in making a difference for a family on Thanksgiving, there are several ways to contribute! Please visit the website or follow on Instagram to learn more!
