We kicked off this Friday with smiles, school spirit, and a whole lot of high-fives! Our students were thrilled to be greeted this morning by the McMurry University football players as part of our High Five Friday tradition.
The energy was contagious as players lined up to welcome students with high-fives and positive vibes to start the day off right. Moments like these remind us how important community partnerships are in building confidence, character, and connection for our kids.
A huge thank you to the McMurry War Hawks for taking the time to inspire and uplift our students. We’re grateful for your support and for being such awesome role models!
