❤️💛 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! ❤️💛

📚❤️💛 Hooked on Reading at Harper! 🐾
Our Harper Elementary first graders are building strong readers with UFLI Blending Boards! Students are practicing how to blend sounds into words, strengthening their decoding skills and building confidence with every new word they read.
Harper is now the second TCS elementary school we’ve highlighted using UFLI resources to support early literacy—and we love seeing these foundational reading skills being built across our schools! 📖
Tiny wins today = big progress tomorrow! ❤️💛🐾

❤️💛 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.

📚❤️💛 Building a Love of Literacy — One Dictionary at a Time!
Last week, students across all three of our elementary schools received their very own dictionaries! 📖🐾
We are incredibly thankful for our partnership with Literacy for Thomas County and the many literacy leaders throughout our community who continue to invest in our students and help build strong readers and lifelong learners.
A special thank you to our volunteers from the City of Thomasville, Thomasville Police Department, and other local businesses and organizations who helped distribute the dictionaries and took time to show our students how to use this new resource. Seeing our students explore their very first dictionaries made the experience even more special! ❤️💛

📚🐾 Sunday Reminder: Attendance Matters! ❤️💛
As we recognize Attendance Awareness Month, here’s another reason why every school day counts.
When students attend school regularly, it helps more than their own learning—it helps keep the entire classroom moving forward. Consistent attendance means more time learning together, fewer missed lessons and stronger connections with teachers and classmates.
As we get ready for another week, let’s make showing up a priority. Every day matters. Every Bulldog matters. ❤️💛🐾

❤️💛 Saturday Shoutout: Thank You for Showing Up, Bulldog Nation! 🐾
This week’s Saturday Shoutout goes to our parents, families and community members who joined us for our Five-Year Strategic Planning Community Meeting! 👏
Together, we took a deeper look at where Thomasville City Schools is today—our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges—and, most importantly, talked about where we want to go next.
As we continue growing programs like Bulldog +1, creating new opportunities for students and strengthening partnerships throughout our community, the most important part of planning for the future is listening first. Hearing directly from our parents, students, staff and community helps ensure their voices are part of the path forward. 🗣️🤝
A special THANK YOU to the Georgia School Boards Association (GSBA) team for guiding these important conversations and to our TCS staff and administrators who helped facilitate the evening.
There’s exciting work ahead, and we’re grateful to have our community at the table as we continue Building the Future Together! ❤️💛🐾
