News from our athletic department!
Cops for Tots!
Thirty-five years ago, one employee at the Greer Police Department started the Cops for Tots Program as a way to help a small number of struggling families in the Greer area at Christmas time. The program was established to provide gifts for children who otherwise would have no gifts to open on Christmas day. Since that time, the program has grown exponentially and now helps hundreds of children each December.
If you'd like to make a donation, here is some information! Toys you can be dropped off to Officer Moreno's office, and he will drop them off at the police department.

AVID students just finished learning how to conduct tutorial labs.
The goal of AVID tutorials is to teach students how to learn through the inquiry process. Students also learn how to function in collaborative study groups and take their learning to a higher level, all while preparing for college culture. Tutorials are conducted every Tuesday and Thursday during the AVID class. AVID students will help each other and hope to be able to offer tutoring to non AVID students who may be struggling in core content as well!
