The Metter High School Football Team, players and coaches, hosted a Tiny Tiger Summer Camp this past week. The Tiny Tiger Football Camp was held for rising 1st through 5th graders and was an event that players and coaches hosted to give back to their community. Coach Shaw says he is so appreciative of all the support he and the team has received from our community and this is one way he can give back. Participants enjoyed learning the basics of football and learning the types of drills that the "Big" Tigers go through daily.

School staff will be contacting those parents who applied for Pre-K slots by Friday, July 19. El personal escolar se pondrá en contacto con los padres que solicitaron vacantes para Pre-K el viernes 19 de julio.
