TCSS Thanks
Yesterday the Tuscaloosa County School System invited a ÐÂÔÂÖ±²¥ representative to its board meeting to offer a thank you for ÐÂÔÂÖ±²¥’s efforts to vaccinate educators. The thank you included six posters with photos and handwritten notes from teachers.
ÐÂÔÂÖ±²¥ is honored to have been able to provide this service to educators. We are not only grateful for the kind gesture but also for all the teachers who have worked through tremendous obstacles and personal risk to keep moving forward with their vital work. We appreciate you!
