Let’s help our very own Brave family again this Holiday season!  Giving is contagious!!  Every 2nd block teacher will encourage their students to bring in money to purchase Angels for the SHS Angel tree (which will be located in the front of Guidance).  We encourage any form of money so check your piggy bank, under the sofa cushions, and that place in your car where you keep spare change. A handful of spare change goes a long way when we work as a team. Money donated will buy gifts and clothes for students of our Socastee family who may otherwise not have any gifts to open during the holidays.

Dates:  November 27 - December 7

Cost of each Angel:  $20.00

Each Angel may be purchased from Mrs. Kirkham in Guidance for $20.00.  The Angel can then be decorated and placed on the SHS Angel Tree.

2nd block class competitions!!!

The Class that purchases the most Angels will receive a Pizza Party!!!

• Freshmen and sophomores – A representative from South Carolina Governor’s School for Science and Math will be here Tuesday, December 11, at 10:30 a.m. Interested students should sign up in Guidance. 

Have a Great Day Braves!!!

And be kind to one another
