May is National Foster Care Month and today is National Foster Care Day
We recognize and support the children and families connected to foster care in our community. Currently, 30 Tift County Schools students are in foster care, and each one of them deserves stability, encouragement, and a strong support system.
Our schools work every day to ensure that all students—no matter their circumstances—feel safe, supported, and valued. We are grateful for the foster families, caseworkers, counselors, teachers, and staff who help provide care, guidance, and opportunity for these students.
Together, we can help ensure every child has the support they need to learn, grow, and succeed.
