💐❤️💛 Another FFA Spotlight—and We’re Still GROWING! 🌱
As we head into another week, we’re excited to share another look at the great things happening in our Thomasville High School FFA program!
This time, we’re celebrating senior Blakeley Mears, who recently put in some extra work preparing for the Floral Design CDE. Blakeley attended a Floral Design Clinic where she gained hands-on experience creating a bud vase, bouquet, and boutonnière. 💐
We love seeing our students step outside the classroom to practice, learn, and build skills through new experiences.
Our FFA program is growing, our students are growing, and we’re excited to see what’s ahead! 🌱💐🐾

Even though our Bulldogs are enjoying Fall Break, we couldn’t let National School Lunch Week pass without celebrating the incredible TCS School Nutrition staff who take care of our students every day!
Following a recent visit and hands-on learning with Georgia Department of Education School Nutrition Culinary Specialist Michael DuBose, our teams are already putting new ideas, techniques, and flavors into action—creating delicious meals for our Bulldogs. 👩🍳👨🍳
But their impact goes far beyond what’s on the tray. ❤️
From our littlest Bulldogs in Pre-K to our biggest Bulldogs preparing for graduation, our School Nutrition staff helps make sure students are fed, cared for, and ready for the school day. They learn students’ names, greet them with a smile, encourage them, and help make our cafeterias a welcoming part of each school.
This week, we celebrate the people behind the meals. Thank you, Bulldog Nutrition, for feeding and taking care of our Bulldogs each and every day! ❤️💛🐾

We're celebrating a little bit of everything this Saturday—student achievement, athletic excellence, school safety, and community partnerships!
At the October 1 Thomasville Rotary Club meeting, Thomasville City Schools had several reasons to celebrate!
🛡️ Supporting School Safety: Ashley Palmer and Angie Ellis accepted five overdose (OD) rescue kits donated to TCS through a Rotary Club grant spearheaded by David Sofferin. Each of our five schools will receive a kit, adding another resource to support school safety and preparedness.
⚽ Celebrating Bulldog Athletics: Our Thomasville High School Boys' and Girls' Soccer Teams were recognized! We're proud of our student-athletes and the dedication they bring to their teams, schools, and community.
🎓 Recognizing Student Excellence: A BIG congratulations to THS student Kinley Harrison, who was named a Rotary Student of the Quarter! What a wonderful recognition of one of our Bulldogs!
A special THANK YOU to the Thomasville Rotary Club for continuing to recognize, celebrate, and invest in our students and schools.
From the classroom to the field and throughout our community, we're proud of our Bulldogs and grateful for the partnerships that help them succeed! ❤️💛🐾

Recently, Thomasville High School senior football players had the opportunity to recognize a teacher from their middle or high school years who has made an impact on their lives.
During a special breakfast for Thomasville High School and Scholars Academy staff, each senior stood to recognize the teacher they selected. The best part? The teachers had no idea they were going to be recognized. ❤️
Among those special connections were Dana Rainey, chosen by senior Jabarri Robinson; Lauren DeLay, chosen by senior Isaiah Palacios; and Joy Knop, chosen by senior Nyier Harris. Each had taught these young men at some point along their journey from middle to high school.
These are the moments that remind us that a teacher’s impact often reaches far beyond the classroom—and sometimes you don’t realize just how much you’ve meant to a student until years later.
That’s a pretty great Friday Feel. ❤️💛🐾

Last week, Scott Elementary welcomed families for a Data Dig Parent Night focused on helping parents better understand their child’s learning and growth.
Families learned how to read benchmark and MAP results and took home practical strategies they can use to support learning at home. And because learning can be fun, families also enjoyed Book Fair treasures and Snow King Shaved Ice! 📚🍧
We love seeing our families and educators working together to help our Scottie Dogs learn, grow, and succeed! ❤️💛

Students in Ms. Knop’s class at Scholars Academy have been learning about the different types of governments in Africa—and recently put that learning to the test with a hands-on challenge!
Each group was assigned a type of government and challenged to build a structure out of straws that represented how that government is organized and operates. It was a creative way for students to take what they’ve been studying and turn it into something they could see, build, and better understand.
Hands-on learning + teamwork + a little creativity = a great day in the classroom! 🌍🐾
Way to go, Scholars!

What a great evening celebrating the joy of reading at the 17th Annual Literacy Fair!
Thomasville City Schools was proud to join Literacy for Thomas County and our community for an evening filled with books, local authors, activities, games, family resources, and plenty of fun!
We loved seeing our Bulldog families, students, staff, and community partners come together around something that matters at every age—literacy. From our youngest readers just beginning their journey to students building skills for their futures, every page makes a difference. 📖🐾
A BIG thank-you to Literacy for Thomas County and everyone who helped make this community event possible. We’re proud to be part of a community that continues to encourage our children to read, learn, and grow!
❤️💛 Literacy Changes Lives.

We hope you joined us for the Literacy Fair last night! If you did, you may have spotted a familiar Bulldog—Dr. Sharonda Wilson!
A 1992 Thomasville High School graduate, Dr. Wilson’s journey has taken her from the halls of THS to the classroom, school leadership, and district administration.
She earned her B.S. in Middle Grades Education and Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction from Valdosta State University, along with her M.S. and Ed.S. in Educational Leadership from Albany State University.
Throughout her career, Dr. Wilson has served as a teacher, principal, and administrator, and today, we’re thankful to have her right here at TCS, using her experience and leadership to support our schools, teachers, and students. ❤️💛
Her story is a great reminder that sometimes a Bulldog’s journey leads them right back home. 🐾
📣 Bulldog alumni—we want to hear from YOU! Share where your journey has taken you for a chance to be featured in an upcoming Wednesday Alumni Spotlight!

Today, we’re celebrating the incredible coaches across Thomasville City Schools who do so much more than teach the game.

From early mornings and late practices to big wins, tough losses, and all the moments in between, thank you for the time, heart, and commitment you give our Bulldogs. ❤️💛
To all of our TCS coaches—thank you for making a difference on and off the field, court, track, course, mat, and beyond!

📚❤️💛 Great Teachers Never Stop Learning! 🐾
While today may have been a Teacher Workday, there was plenty of learning happening across Thomasville City Schools!
Our teachers spent the day learning, collaborating, and growing together through professional learning designed to strengthen instruction and better support our students. These photos from MacIntyre Park Middle School and Scholars Academy offer a little behind-the-scenes look at the work our educators put in—not just on workdays, but often before, during, and after the school day—to help our students succeed.
Recently, our teachers have been diving into Teacher Clarity, strengthening how they communicate learning goals, help students understand what success looks like, and create opportunities for students to become more confident, independent learners.
A Teacher Workday may mean a day off for students, but for our educators, it’s another opportunity to learn, plan, collaborate, and prepare for our Bulldogs! ❤️💛🐾

As we start a new week, we’re looking back at our September District Safety Meeting, where school leaders, staff, Board members, and community safety partners came together with one shared priority—keeping our students and staff safe.
Led by Angie Ellis, Director of School Safety, the meeting covered safety drills, current safety initiatives, staff training, BTAM, emerging social media trends, and more. Chris Upton, Director of Technology, also shared how CENTEGIX blueprints can support emergency preparedness and response.
We’re grateful for our partners from City and County Fire and EMS, E911, law enforcement, Georgia State Patrol, Emergency Management, Thomas County Schools, and our TCS team who continue to collaborate and prepare together.
Our bi-monthly safety meetings help keep communication strong, partnerships connected, and everyone focused on what matters most: working together to keep our schools safe. 🐾❤️💛
