🏈 Beyond the T Moment 🏈
A special shout-out to Pernell Bee, Carrie Macdonald, Charly Pitts, Andrew Cauthen, Hunter McAllister, and Paul Nelson for making a dream come true for Sam Powell, a student at Eighth Street Middle School! At a recent football game, Sam put on a Blue Devil jersey, joined the team in the locker room before the game and at half time then following the last play of the game he ran a play with the the whole team cheering him on. Tonight he helped present certificates to each of those who helped make this possible and even showed everyone in attendance some of his football skills! This incredible group effort captures the true spirit of going #BeyondTheT.
