The creative staff of the District Office of the Haywood County Board of Education placed an entry in the local Festival of Trees. Of course, the holiday theme included purple and white and a definite nod to our Tomcat Pride. Santa Claus displays his Tomcat Pride in a purple and white Tomcat football jersey. Merry Christmas to all and remember that we just can’t hide that Tomcat Pride! District elves included Kathy Black, Debi Clagg, Tiffany Goodman, Victoria Harvell, Jeremy Hayes, Michael Morris, Rosemary Moss, Cindy Smith, Gail Steele, and Jean Wills.
