improve the care and education for all children in Spartanburg County.

the Foundation and the Spartanburg County Partnership for Early Care and
Education for parents who are interested in learning more about quality care
and education.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT
On August 18, 2007 Bryce Page celebrated his 5th birthday. His
parents, Amy & Austin Page, decided to use Bryce's birthday party as an
opportunity to teach Bryce the importance of giving to those less fortunate.
In the birthday party invitations sent to Bryce's friends, there was a note
which read: In lieu of gifts, please consider bringing a new, unwrapped toy
for ages 0-3 to be donated to Middle Tyger Community Center.
Bryce is pictured above presenting those gifts to the Middle Tyger Community
Center This is My Child (TIMC) childcare program. Accepting the gifts on behalf
of the program is Katy Lee, a TIMC Teacher.
Pictured below are some of the children in the Middle Tyger Community Center
childcare program enjoying the new toys donated by Bryce Page & his friends.
Many thanks to Bryce, his family, and friends for their
willingness to give back to the community!
