We are shouting out our first GOLD Sponsor, OnScene!

You can visit their website at www.OnScene247.com

The mission of On Scene is to assist our local fire stations in the service of their communities by making sure homeowners and business owners are taken care of after a disaster. Whether that be securing their property, providing their family with food and shelter, helping them navigate to claims process with their insurance company, or any other need that arises after a disaster.

We accomplish this mission by always being available to respond for the fire departments day or night, participating in charities that benefit the fire departments and their communities, and partnering with local companies to make sure all the needs of those who experience disaster are met.

You will see on our logo there are three stars representing the three core values of On Scene Service, Support, and Charity. Service is the first value because we are committed to offering the best customer service possible by prompt response, thorough communication, and a clean work product. Support is the next value because it is the primary responsibility of On Scene to support our local fire stations with whatever need they have in order to best support their communities. Sometimes a local station does not always have the budget or manpower to do all they can for the community and our goal is to be a resource to fill in those gaps so we can be a true partner to the stations we are working with. Charity is the last tenant and its one we take seriously. Our goal is to grow the company so the more work we can complete to more we are able to give back to the communities. Through our work with fire departments, we are always coming across people in need and our business model is set up so that the more work we do in a community the more we are able to give back.

Thank you OnScene for your Gold Sponsorship, we appreciate you!

Interested in becoming a sponsor or know a business that would like to, please contact Mrs. Dixon at emily.dixon@barrow.k12.ga.us

We are so thankful for another GOLD Sponsor, Classic City Orthodontics! You can visit their website at:

Classic City Orthodontics | Orthodontist Athens and Watkinsville

At Classic City Orthodontics we are committed to providing the highest standards of quality, service, and technology. We embrace our legacy while leading the way in creating innovative experiences for a new generation of CCO patients and their families. We value excellence, and major in fun.

We aren’t in the business of braces and aligners, but are in the business of building confidence. Braces may be the vehicle, but you are in the driver’s seat. And the best part is you don’t need a license. But we will take your picture. Say cheese!

We put you and your care first. Confidence begins with beautiful, healthy smiles that last a lifetime. Our smile environment is open, airy, comfortable, and caring; everyone is welcome. There is no age limit or height requirement. But we do have special events with exclusive access for our VIPs. Don’t worry, EVERYONE is a VIP.

We are still looking for a few more sponsors, please contact Mrs. Dixon at emily.dixon@barrow.k12.ga.us if you are interested!

We know that our Wildcats are doing some AMAZING things outside of SES and we want to highlight and celebrate them!
