❤️💛 Planning Today for What Comes Next! 🎓🐾

We had a wonderful turnout of junior and senior students and parents for our recent FAFSA and Dual Enrollment Night!

From understanding financial aid and preparing for college to exploring opportunities to earn college credit while still in high school, evenings like this help our students and families have the information they need to plan confidently for the future.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, asked questions, and took advantage of these important resources. Preparing our Bulldogs today for where they’re headed tomorrow—that’s Bulldog +1! ❤️💛

🇺🇸🌳 Learning Through Remembrance

Last week, in recognition of Patriot Day and the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, our Scottie Dogs learned the story of the Survivor Tree.

Students read This Very Tree by Sean Rubin and reflected on the tree that stands at the 9/11 Memorial Plaza as a powerful symbol of hope, healing, bravery, and resilience.

Our younger learners explored the role of community helpers and created their own “Helper Tree,” while older students had thoughtful conversations about how the Survivor Tree reminds us that we can continue to grow even after hardship.

We love seeing our teachers create meaningful, age-appropriate opportunities for students to remember, reflect, and learn. 🇺🇸❤️💛

📚🍦 Sweet Success in Reading! ❤️💛

Our Jerger Superstars are putting in the work and building strong reading foundations through UFLI phonics instruction! After crushing their lesson, these young readers celebrated their progress with a well-earned ice cream treat. ✨

We love seeing our students strengthen their skills one sound, one word, and one lesson at a time—with a little fun along the way! 📚🍦

❤️💛 Building Confidence Beyond the Classroom! 🐾🐴

Sometimes the biggest victories begin with simply finding the courage to try.

Recently, students from Ms. Chrissy Mann’s eighth-grade class at MacIntyre Park Middle School visited Hands & Hearts for Horses for their first therapeutic riding experience—one of the meaningful opportunities provided through Thomasville City Schools’ Exceptional Student Services and our community partnerships.

For eighth grader Preston, getting on a horse was a big step. He was nervous and unsure at first, but with encouragement and support, he found the courage to climb on. By the end of the experience, those nerves had turned into happiness, confidence, and tears of pride in what he had accomplished. ❤️

The moment became even more special when Mrs. Janna Crane, who was volunteering with Hands & Hearts that morning, had the opportunity to work with Preston as he rode her own “retired” horse.

Through our partnership with Hands & Hearts for Horses, TCS students are able to participate in therapeutic riding experiences that support their confidence, emotional well-being, and individual growth in a unique and meaningful way.

We are grateful for the dedicated educators, volunteers, and community partners who help us provide experiences that meet students where they are, encourage them to take that next step, and celebrate right alongside them when they do. ❤️💛🐾

🇺🇸 More Moments from a Morning of Remembrance

Earlier today, we shared a glimpse of our TCS students, staff, and community coming together for a special 9/11 remembrance run down Jackson Street. As we look back through more photos from the morning, we wanted to share a few more moments that captured the spirit of the day. ❤️

It was a meaningful reminder of the courage, service, sacrifice, and unity we honor on September 11—and of the importance of passing those values on to the next generation.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in remembering and honoring together.

We remember. We honor. We stand together. 🇺🇸❤️💛

🧬❤️💛 Bulldog Scientists at Work! 🔬🐾

Our Thomasville High School Honors Biology students recently took science from the textbook to the lab in Dr. Broadie’s class, extracting DNA from strawberries! 🍓🧬

After learning about macromolecules and phospholipids, students put that knowledge into action to see firsthand how biologists isolate DNA. And the learning doesn’t stop there—Dr. Broadie’s AP Biology students will take the extracted DNA even further, investigating whether the strawberries were genetically modified.

Hands-on learning. Real-world science. These Bulldogs are thinking and working like scientists! ❤️💛

❤️💛 Prepared to Protect Our Bulldogs 🐾

Safety is a team effort, and last week members of our teachers, staff, School Resource Officers, coaches, and other district personnel came together for a full day of specialized school safety training.

A special thank you to Kaleb White, Law Enforcement Officer with the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency (GEMA/HS), who led four training sessions focused on Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE), Stop the Bleed, De-escalation in Schools, and Visual Weapons Training.

Throughout the day, our team received hands-on instruction and important information to strengthen emergency response, preparedness, and life-saving skills—all part of our continued commitment to being prepared and keeping our students and schools safe. ❤️💛

We’re also incredibly grateful to the community partners who helped take care of our team during the training! Thank you to Hank Crane, Attorney at Law, and his wife, Janna, for providing snacks, and to Chick-fil-A and Von Hellens & Partners for providing lunch.

It takes all of us working together to keep our schools safe. Thank you to GEMA/HS, our community partners, and every member of our Bulldog team who participated and continues to make school safety a priority. 🐾

Prepared people. Strong partnerships. Safer schools.
