You are not alone. You are valued.

We also recognize and respect the important role that families play in guiding reading choices.

TAB WARS – HOMECOMING WEEK
Waccamaw High is supporting the Ronald McDonald House and helping provide a “home away from home” for families with children receiving medical treatment! By saving and donating aluminum can tabs, we can make a big difference and have a little fun at the same time.
Bring your can tabs to lunch October 13–16. The class with the heaviest bucket wins Homecoming class points!
From September 15 to October 15, we celebrate the rich cultures, vibrant traditions, and powerful stories of Hispanic and Latinx communities! 💃📚🌎
