October and November brought several speakers to TLC to share their wisdom with us. We enjoyed visits from Pastor Marcus Tolliver and Clinton Patton, Jr. who spoke with our students about positive encouragement and character, Hazel Pittman's Prevention Director, Melanie Reid, who spoke to us about the dangers of vaping, and Chester County Sheriff, Max Dorsey, who spoke to us about character traits, like honesty, loyalty, and integrity, and how to have those traits within ourselves. We thank these community leaders for coming to speak with us and share this important information with us.








Remembering Pearl Harbor Day. A day that will live in infamy.
