Tift County Schools is very thankful to our local community organizations that provide beyond the school day activities for our students. Organizations like the Tift County Recreation Department, the Tifton-Tift County Public Library, YMCA, Tifton Council for the Arts, and local churches all support in providing our youth with opportunities to be engaged, learn and grow. They embody the idea that it takes a village to raise a child, and we are so appreciative of the work they do on behalf of our youth! #4theT #TiftisThankful

Tift County Schools partnered with Maggie Campbell’s Daycare and the Anthony Bateman Youth Center to celebrate Family Literacy Day. The event featured engaging sessions led by Dr. Nikkia Johnson from Affinity Pediatrics, who shared insights on early brain development, and Ms. Georgia Jackson, who discussed speech development in the early years. Parents and children participated in hands-on literacy centers designed to promote early learning at home and enjoyed a “to-go” lunch sponsored by Maggie Campbell's Daycare. Each child also received a book to take home, helping to build their personal library and encourage a love of reading. The day was a wonderful celebration of family engagement and the importance of early literacy.

Exciting things continue to happen at The Palace! After receiving new goals last week, installation is now underway on a new digital scoreboard. The previous scoreboard, original to the construction of the building, served us well through many great moments, but it was time for an update. Thank you to our Board of Education for investing in the future of Blue Devil athletics. We are ready for basketball season! #4theT
