Congratulations to Tamara Collier, affectionately known as “Sunshine,” on being named Sumter School District’s District Office/Annex Employee of the Year! ☀️

Although Tamara was unable to join us at the Back-to-School Rally due to a prior professional commitment, we are proud to recognize her for her positivity, compassion, and commitment to supporting students, families, and colleagues. As part of this well-deserved honor, she received a commemorative plaque and a $250 award from the Sumter Education Foundation.

Thank you, Tamara, for bringing sunshine wherever you go and for making a difference each day. Congratulations!

We are super excited about the new year and the awesome opportunity to serve 19 schools across more than 10 school districts through our School Partners Program. This program is uniquely designed to support schools with effective and innovative strategies for engaging family. The program is offered at no additional cost to the school. We have room for one additional school and invite school administrators to reach out to our project director Dr. Yasha Jones Becton ([email protected]).

Several spots still remain in our Fun in the Mud pottery workshop!

In this popular class, kids will learn about different kinds of clay, the pottery wheel, and hand building techniques.

At the end of the week, Campers will leave with both decorative and functional pieces of pottery!

Limited spots remain, so be sure to secure your kids seat through the link in the bio!
