Good morning,

A big thank you to our incredible Tate families for helping us collect 7 large boxes of books during our Dolly Day book drive! Your generosity is helping us spread the joy of reading far beyond the walls of Tate.

Books were placed in Little Free Libraries throughout Pickens County, giving children and families in our community the opportunity to discover a new favorite book, share a story, and fall in love with reading.

We are so grateful for a school community that continues to show us that a little generosity can make a BIG difference!

Thank you, Tate families, for helping us share the love of reading throughout our county!
