Clemson University's "Be A T.I.G.E.R. Character Education Program" visited our school today. Two athletes, Emily (Diver) and Trevor (Baseball Player) came to speak to our kids about the acronym T.I.G.E.R. T=Team Work, I=Integrity, G=Gratitude, E=Education, & R=Respect. The kids LOVED seeing the athletes and hearing that no matter what they want to be when they grow up, they will still need education to fall back on. They will still need to learn and practice new skills or tasks. Here are some pictures of the day! Note: The Clemson Tiger mascot was not there today. The kids were sad, but they really enjoyed hearing the athletes talk.

Still waiting :)

Illustrating how hard it is to work without being a team. That little boy is going to try to pull Kieboom down by himself (tug of war).
Not working so great (by himself)
Working out much better as a team (See Jay from our class in the back of the group in the brown shirt). Way to go on working as a team.
Teaching everyone how to the Tiger cheer (1-2-3-4 in cadence count)
