Happy Holidays!
Thanksgiving Holidays are November 22 - 30!
It’s almost time for one of South Carolina’s favorite traditions—Big Thursday! On November 20, we will be joining cafeterias across the state to celebrate school spirit, delicious meals, and good nutrition fueling champions on and off the field.
Students should wear the colors of the team they support - Clemson or South Carolina. Then all students who eat cafeteria lunch that day are entered into a drawing for a prize.
Lunch that day will be our Thanksgiving meal so we hope students will fuel up on Big Thursday!
