We are all in this together! Tuesday, March 19, was โEllymay Dayโ for the Southern Columbia Area School District. Students and staff were encouraged to show their support for Ellymay Yost as she showcases her bravery and courage during the duration of the next couple months. Students and staff wore purple and blue attire, and some even dyed their hair to show their love for Ellymay. There was also a dress down day for staff and bracelets sold, where all the proceeds went to Ellymayโs family. We wish Ellymay the best of luck and give her all our TIGER LOVE! ๐ค๐ฏ๐๐ค๐ฏ๐
