PROMOTIONS
Friday
* Opening Night - Print off the promotional schedule on the website and use the coupon for 4 free admissions
* First 400 fans receive Lady Vol FanFans (Lady Vol Schedule Signs)
Saturday
* Back To School Night - Donate two school items and receive free admission. School supplies donated to Knox County Teacher Supply Depot. Here are some more details on the depot.
* Teacher Supply Depot seeks donations: In less than two months, the Knox County Schools/PTA Teacher Supply Depot will open for the first time this school year. After three openings last year, however, resources are running low, and the Depot may not be able to meet teachers' needs without help from the community. The Teacher Supply Depot provides Knox County educators with a variety of new and used classroom materials at no charge. Since the Depot is driven solely by donations, it is a unique way for local businesses and community members to partner with the school system to provide material support to teachers. All donated materials are used to enhance instruction and promote student achievement in the classroom
