1.  Be a “Bulldog Breakfast Buddy.”  The idea behind the “Bulldog Breakfast Buddies” is to help younger students develop a relationship with a scholar athlete or student leader to provide encouragement on the importance of studying hard, making good grades, and making right choices.  THS and Scholars Academy students partner with Scott Elementary students between the hours of 7:25 a.m. and 7:50 a.m. before the bell rings, so this activity will not interfere with classes.  If you are interested in participating in this program, please call the HOTC Office or contact Thomas McMillan at 228-7646.

2.   Boys & Girls Club – Interact with the very young, assist in the computer lab, help with homework, read in small groups or one-on-one in the Thursday afternoon Accelerated Reading Blitz.  Even one hour a week makes a difference. Please call Lee Wagner at 228-5155 or the HOTC Office at 226-5200 or email info@handsonthomascounty.org
