Local school fundraiser

Chick-fil-A Spirit Night

Please join The Main Street Academy tomorrow night, Tuesday - 2/26/13, from 4:30pm-6:30pm at Chick-fil-A on Cleveland Avenue for our monthly fundraiser.

As always, there will be activities for the children and they have a great playground.  Tell the cashier you are with TMSA and a portion of your total bill will be donated to the school.  Drive-thru is included.

TMSA is built on the foundation of our 8 Core Values.  It's important for both students and parents/guardians to keep these in mind as we gather in the community for school-related events.  We need to be "the proud face of TMSA" and have fun, but still mind our manners.  There should be no running or screaming at any of our partner establishments.  Please display the TMSA core value of Respect at our community events as if you were visiting a friend's home for dinner.

Thank you for your continued support of TMSA!
