We are so thankful for the hard work of the Terry W. Kitchen Central Junior High cheerleaders for volunteering their time to pack backpacks full of school supplies for many of our students! We are also grateful to all of our supportive community partners for giving us the opportunity to provide free school supplies to families in need. Also, a huge thank you to our head social worker, Carolyn Thomas, who works tirelessly to serve our students and families.
We took the opportunity at Opening Day to snap a couple pictures of our Tiger staff members who are also Cape Central High alumni! We are missing a few people but take a look at that group! Wow! #WeareCT
We had the best time at our Opening Day event as we welcomed all of our staff members back to prepare for a new school year. A huge thanks to CTA for leading us in Tiger Feud and to the Cape Girardeau Public Schools Foundation for prizes. MRTA donated three $500 checks to educators in our district today! Our keynote speaker, Tara Martin, gave a very inspiring message to all of us to wrap up our morning.
We are so excited to be closing in on the start of the 2023-2024 school year and cannot wait to welcome our staff members back!
It’s always a great day to be a Tiger! 🐅
