Great news, Taylor County families!
As school supply displays start popping up in stores, here’s something to keep in mind: you don’t need to buy school supplies. 🖍️✂️📓

Thanks to the continued generosity of our community and the support of the Taylor County Schools Levy, we are able to provide all the necessary school supplies for all of our enrolled students.

That means no long shopping lists—just a strong start to the school year for everyone!

Thank you for investing in our students’ success!
Let's make this school year the best one yet! See you in class!
