Evans County Schools

🐯💼 Learning today, leading tomorrow!

Claxton Middle School thanks Junior Achievement (JA) of Georgia and the JA BizTown team for helping our students connect classroom learning to real-world experiences!

Through JA BizTown, students explored business ownership and experienced the responsibilities of being employees, consumers, and taxpayers. These hands-on opportunities helped our Tigers understand how education and financial decisions can shape their futures. 💵🌟

Thank you for your dedication, partnership, and investment in our students! 💛🖤

🐅💛 SPIRIT WALK FOR OUR TIGERS! 🖤💛

Today, we proudly completed a Spirit Walk to show our support and send off our Claxton Tiger Cross Country Team as they prepare to compete at the STATE MEET this weekend! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

There is nothing quite like the support of Tiger Nation! We are so proud of Coach Baxter and these athletes, their hard work, dedication, and determination throughout the season. They have put in the miles, pushed through the challenges, and earned their opportunity to compete on the state stage!

From your Claxton Tiger Family, we are cheering you on every step of the way! Run strong, give it your all, and enjoy every moment. You've got an entire community behind you!

BEST OF LUCK AT STATE, TIGERS! GO MAKE US PROUD!

Once a Tiger, Always a Tiger! 🐅
