Toyota, Scion, and Toyota Scion of Rock Hill have teamed up to give away up to $10,000 to Rock Hill Schools through a Facebook competition now under way. All district employees (and everyone they know) can help our schools win the full amount. The good news is that high schools will only compete against high schools, etc.
 
The district fundraiser on August 21st on the campus of the Applied Technology Center and at the Operations Center raised close to $60,000. Yard sale profits ($8,100) will be kept by the schools while silent auction ($7,500) and public auction ($44,000) proceeds will go into the district fund balance to use where needed most.
