Students of the week May 18-22
6th Gr: Ivana A. Mr. Crump said "Ivana is a very quiet person who is kind and often helps her fellow classmates with their classwork. She is very polite and is not afraid to ask clarifying questions when needed, especially when it is not for herself. She is the definition of selfless. She will go the extra mile to make sure that everyone in the classroom understands what the task is.
7th Gr: Talori W. Mr. McIntosh said "Talori is an amazing student, when she applies herself to a task she is successful. She has shown willingness to help her peers academically. Talori has a bright future, she just needs friendly reminders to help her stay focused. Way to go Talori!!!!"
8th Gr: Nora S. Ms. Syblik said "Nora is the definition of “public relations" and “customer service”. No matter what you need, Nora is there to help and always with a smile on her face. If you need a recommendation, she is there. If your Chromebook is broken, she’ll take care of it. Need someone to listen? Got a quick errand to run? Nora will volunteer. She is an absolute bright spot in the day because even though I know she thinks she is “bothering me“ (she catches me at my busiest part of the day where everything starts rolling together), she doesn’t know how much I look forward to her stories and our conversations after lunch."

Congrats to these young women and ALL the Students of the Week this year. You are shining examples of what Tigers should be!

Thank you Mrs. Lenzsch, Mrs. A, and Mrs. G for inviting us to share in the celebration of your awards party. You all are truly making a difference in the lives of your students. Congratulations to all of you!

We appreciated the outstanding performance by our 6th grade choir students tonight for their final show. Thank you Ms. Allen and TMS 6th grade students.
