Community Welcomed at First Sponsor Meeting
Last night we welcomed everyone to the first sponsor meeting of the year. Students, parents, and sponsors filled every chair in the main classroom. We started the evening by inviting everyone to share how they feel the year is going so far, and we heard a very positive response from new and continuing community members alike.
The meeting first delved into the details of TCS academics. Mr. Tom answered questions about what the students are graded on, how often grades are published, quiz and testing policies, and the importance of homework.
Attendees were also treated to a first-look of the TCS Student News, typically published on Fridays. TCS Student News is a great way for families and sponsors to keep up with what is going on around the school, from birthdays to speakers to special projects. Watching the TCS Student News every week is a great way to support the student’s hard work, too; it is 100% student led, from the research and script to the filming and editing!
We also took a moment to recognize everyone who has signed up for providing lunches so far. We have been very successful with filling this semester’s calendar with lunch volunteers and it wouldn’t be possible without our dedicated community members – thank you!
Our next big event, happening in a month on October 12th, is the 3rd Annual Bull Roast. Chairperson of the Board of Trustees, Dave Bayer, handed out flyers and solicitation letters to be distributed at local businesses. The Bull Roast is our biggest fundraiser of the year and it is very important that we have all hands on deck to prepare. There are many ways to help. You can buy tickets for students and your family, advertise the raffle tickets in your workplace, give the solicitation letter to your favorite local businesses for donations, and hang the flyers around your neighborhood.
The next sponsor meeting is October 17th at 6:30pm. Thank you to everyone who attended last night and we look forward to seeing everyone again soon!
