Happy New Year!

We are off to a great and very busy start to a new year.  Isn't it wonderful to be a Tattnall Trojan?  There are so many things to be a part of such as our upcoming Science Fun Night.  It is next Tuesday from 6:30 until 8:00.  You don't have to stay long, but attend if you can. The students will love the hands-on activities they will be able to do.  Hope to see everyone there!

Competition Cheer

There will be an informational meeting this Wednesday for girls interested in being a Competition Cheerleader for the next school year. It will be at 12:15 in the Athletic Complex.

Y-Club will sponsor Spirit Days, Dec. 16-19, to help with the relief aid in the Philippines. A dollar donation per day from students who want to wear jeans on these half days will go to Samaritan's Purse, an organization involved in the relief efforts.
