Keeping Bobcats Informed, May 3, 2023

Wednesday, May 03, 2023

Bobcat Parents and Families,

I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to our graduating Bobcats and their families! This is an extraordinary moment that marks a significant milestone in your student's journey, and as family members, your unwavering support and guidance have played a crucial role in their success. Your encouragement, love, and sacrifices have helped shape them into who they are today. 

I am immensely proud of their accomplishments and grateful for your continued support. Please join us in celebrating our students' successes either in person or virtually at  commencement  this weekend. You can even download your own  proud parent sign  to bring along with you. 

I am excited to join in the celebrations and safe travels to everyone who is heading to Athens this weekend!

Go Bobcats,
Kathy
