We would also like to thank Mr. Casey Godwin from the Roseland Fire Department for picking up two loads of supplies that will be delivered to the Waynesville NC.
TCS 8th grade students worked on their ELA review for their text of the week, “Phineas Gage.” Students were tasked to rotate through stations for the activity. One station was a major hit where students played a game of vocabulary review by playing spoons. There was a lot of laughs and friendly competition today!
