TAMPA, Fla. – Mercy Chefs teamed up with WWE Superstar, Thaddeus Bullard, to provide a delicious breakfast to students, faculty, and staff, who finally have their power back on and are able and ready to learn once again.

Students at Sligh Middle School in Tampa were excited to be back in the classroom following two back-to-back hurricanes.

Sligh Middle School is the home of Thaddeus Bullard Academy. Bullard, who is better known as, Titus O’Neil, is an accomplished athlete, global entertainer, philanthropist and author of, “There’s No Such Things As A Bad Kid.”
