Folds of Honor
Friday, September 30th, 2022 is our 2nd Annual Folds of Honor / Military Appreciation game vs. Charleston (7pm). All students should have received an email for the military themed apparel that is for sale to support this great cause. All students and their families are able to purchase Tornado/Military themed apparel, in advance for the game, until September 11th, 2022. Our goal for this game is to raise $5,000.00, which is the amount that supports one educational scholarship to help benefit a military family through Folds of Honor. Last year, THS raised approx. $7500.00 for Folds of Honor. As a reminder, recipients of these scholarships are family members of those who have lost their life or have been severely disabled while serving in the United States Armed Forces. If you have any questions about the event or store. Please contact Coach Mateer.
