Bulldog Conversations Build Readers!
Did you know everyday conversations help build literacy skills? Today for Georgia Reads Week, we’re encouraging our TCS families to Talk Together!
Ask your Bulldog about their school day, what they’re learning, a book they’re reading, or something that made them smile. Then give them time to tell you all about it!
Try tonight’s TCS conversation starter:
💬 “What was the best thing you learned today?”
Those everyday conversations build vocabulary, language skills, confidence—and connection. ❤️💛

What a wonderful evening at Harper Elementary! Our recent Literacy Partnership Title I Night brought together students, families, educators, and community partners for an evening all about reading, learning, and growing together.
We had a fantastic turnout, with families enjoying books, activities, and a special visit from children’s book author Shonda Knight—plus plenty of fun along the way!
A HUGE thank you to our Harper families and community partners for showing up and supporting our students. Nights like this are a great reminder that when schools, families, and our community come together, our students benefit most. 📖✨

🇺🇸🌳 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. 🇺🇸❤️💛

❤️💛 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. ❤️💛🐾
