Tiger-Rock Tuesday!

Don't forget our new tradition! We know that everyone loves to sport the colors/shirts/hats, etc of their favorite teams! Last week we started the "Tiger-Rock Tuesday" tradition. We want to encourage all students to wear one of their Tiger Rock T-shirt's to their school every Tuesday. Just like Tennessee fans love seeing other Vol shirts.....we want our students to feel empowered when they see all those Tiger Rock shirts in their local schools (in the hallway, lunchroom, fellow classmates, etc!). We are a team! Wear your Tiger-Rock apparel to school tomorrow! Post the pictures to our facebook page and/or use hashtag #TigerRockTuesday.
