Join us for a Soup-er Together Lunch to support our Program for Exceptional Children. On April 23rd, come sit and eat with us at Metter College & Career Academy, or grab and go!
Your lunch will include a premium 12 oz tomato soup accompanied by a grilled cheese sandwich. Drinks will also be provided including either sweet tea, unsweet tea, or water. Each meal will also include a custom-made bag stamped and decorated by our students. Souper Lunch is lovingly prepared by our PEC students and staff as part of their hands-on learning and real-world skill practice.
$15 per meal
Please pre-order by April 19 here (you can also pay online): https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSdadhteoE5u0F.../viewform
Please indicate your preferred timeframe so that we may plan accordingly with the sandwiches (between 11:30 am - 12: 30 pm).
Pre-orders will be honored before walk ins due to the limited supply of soup which takes 3 hours to cook. Pre-order today to reserve your spot! Community orders are welcome in additional to on-campus orders!

MMS is so proud of our Tiger Time Piano students who performed a special recital for their parents and administrators this morning! 🎹🐾
Six of Mrs. Becky Kirkland’s Tiger Time students each played two songs, and it was such a joy to watch and hear their progress. Mrs. Kirkland shared that her students have come so far since the beginning of the school year—most have already completed their first song book and are now working on a second!
We are incredibly proud of their hard work and dedication. Keep up the great work, Tigers!

Dear Families,
As we head into the Christmas season, the Candler County Literacy Council would like to remind you that some of the most meaningful learning happens in the everyday moments you already share with your child.
Simple actions like talking, reading, playing, and showing love help build strong brains and support your child’s growth—without adding stress or extra work. These moments are free, easy, and fit naturally into your daily routines, especially during the holidays. We've given you some ideas below!
This Christmas, remember that your time, attention, and conversation are the greatest gifts of all.
Warm holiday wishes,
Candler County Literacy Council
