Titan Back to School Newsletter
Week of August 8
Titans,
Welcome back!! I know many of you are dreading setting the alarm Thursday night, but I am ready to see you! Our campus is looking great and we are hastily preparing to meet the newest group of Titans. If all goes as projected, we'll open our doors to 1200+ students this school year! What an incredible opportunity we have to touch the lives of so many students in our community. Trust me when I say, there's no better staff that takes care of kids than the Titans. Our students need you to set that alarm and get the year started off right!
See you Friday,
Kim
