Trion City Schools is warning local businesses about an unauthorized company that has reportedly been contacting businesses seeking advertising and sponsorships for Trion Middle School homework folders.

According to a notice released by the school district, a company identified as Kids First Community has allegedly been soliciting local businesses for sponsorship and advertising opportunities connected to Trion Middle School.

School officials emphasized that Trion Middle School and Trion City Schools have not authorized, approved or partnered with any company or organization to solicit advertising or sponsorships on behalf of the school for homework folders.

The district also stated that any communication claiming or implying those sponsorships are being conducted on behalf of Trion Middle School is not authorized by the school or the district.

Officials said that if Trion Middle School or Trion City Schools offers sponsorship or advertising opportunities in the future, those opportunities will be announced through the district’s official communication channels.

Businesses that receive unsolicited requests claiming to represent Trion City Schools are encouraged to verify the information directly with the school system before making any financial commitments.
