The Thomas County School System wants students to READ this summer!  Did you know that students can have up to a 2-3 month loss in reading ability over the summer?  It's important for students to spend time sharpening their reading skills!

Each school has developed a summer reading challenge for students.  We would like for students to read for 15-30 minutes everyday this summer. The guidelines and requirements vary by school.  Please click the link below for more information about each school's guidelines and a list of eBook resources.  If you need more information, please talk to the media specialist at your school.  The guidelines are for the school the students will be attending in the 2021-2022 school year.

The School-Based Health Center, located at the Thomas County Middle School, has released the summer schedule. There are some days and weeks when the center is open, but not for sick visits. During those times, there will be no provider on site so only COVID tests and vaccines will be administered. Call 229-227-2936 for questions or appointments.

Thomas County Central High School junior Claire Pope will be one of a select group of students privy to a special online leadership experience this summer.

Pope, 17, is Grady EMC’s Thomas County representative chosen for the annual Electric Cooperative Youth Tour, otherwise known as the Washington Youth Tour. The program typically sends youth delegates to Washington D.C. for an immersive leadership experience by visiting various national treasures and observing the country’s political mechanisms in action.

“It was an honor to be selected to represent Thomas County on the Washington Youth Tour,” Pope said. “I recognize the value this experience will provide and am excited about this opportunity.”

Pope became interested in the tour because she plans to major in history and become a museum curator.

“I was drawn to the possibility of attending … as a means to broaden my scope of learning as well as having the opportunity to meet other students in our area with similar interests,” she said.

Unfortunately, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the tour will not take place in person this year. Instead, the event will be a three-day virtual leadership program.
