Help Us Celebrate Our Cherokee County Schools Team! ❤️💙
As we prepare to welcome our staff back for a new school year, we are excited to bring everyone together for an Opening Session on August 18th. This special event will give us an opportunity to celebrate accomplishments across our district, learn together, hear from some wonderful guest speakers, and begin the year united as one team committed to serving our students and community.
Our Opening Session will include professional learning on important topics, including legal updates, recognizing the latest va**ng devices and marketing strategies used to influence children toward harmful substances, as well as an inspiring motivational message to help us begin the year with a positive outlook for ourselves and our students.
As we look ahead to the school year, we also want to find meaningful ways to recognize and celebrate our amazing teachers and staff throughout the year. One way we hope to do that is through door prizes and staff appreciation drawings.
We would love your help!
If your business or organization would like to support this effort, we would be grateful for donations such as:
🎁 Gift cards to your local business
🍽️ Gift cards to local restaurants sponsored by your business
🛍️ Merchandise or gift baskets
💙 Monetary donations to help us purchase items for staff celebrations
🎉 Other items you feel would be a great way to recognize and celebrate our team
This is not an ask we make often, but we know how much our community values our educators and school staff. We want to give our team members a little extra encouragement, appreciation, and excitement as they begin another important year of making a difference in the lives of our students.
Your support would not only help us celebrate our staff, but would also provide a wonderful opportunity to highlight and promote the businesses and organizations that make Cherokee County such a special place to live and work.

We can’t wait to welcome our staff back tomorrow and come together as one team on August 18th and start the new school year with our students back on August 24th!
Let’s make it a great year, Cherokee County! ❤️💙
