Day 1 of @TCSBoardofEd Summer is in the books!! We had a FLAWLESS 1st day! I did a really bad job of documenting the awesomeness, but @WestlawnTCS and @CentralESChamps 21st CCLCs both did a great job with decor to welcome their kiddos. Looking forward to 21 more days of FUN!

Thank you @UA_Athletics - Allison Payne for giving tickets to one of our S.O.A.R. Leaders, Noah and his father. They will be attending the Men's Basketball game. Congratulations and have tons of fun!

We would like to say thank you to our Falcon Family for helping us raise over $1,000 for United Way! Hats off to these S.O.A.R. Leaders for representing our school on today.
