Final Sponsor Meeting of the Year
Reflection and recognition – that is the purpose of the year’s final sponsor meeting. As the community gathered together Thursday night, we had an opportunity to do just that. At the start of the meeting, students, their families and sponsors had a chance to share their thoughts on the year.
A few of the community members expressed how amazing it is that a school like ours exists, and commended the hard work that goes into making TCS happen. Lisa Knickmeyer, graduate coordinator at Mother Seton Academy who sponsors two Community School students, commended the new dual enrollment program. Ms. Knickmeyer pointed out that giving our students the opportunity to complete college credits while in junior and senior year is unique and set us apart from most of the area private schools.
Mr. Tom made sure to give recognition to the students’ hard work throughout the year, describing some of the key highlights of this year’s curriculum and activities. He also recognized some students for their achievements that went above-and-beyond. Sara Harris and Claude Nicholson both made honor roll this year. Donald Lacy, Jordan Leon, and Olivia Yates never missed a day of school, and Jacob Cougle had perfect attendance by both attending every day and always being on time.
As summer begins, we look ahead to the changes taking place next fall. We will be welcoming new faces and growing our enrollment to 22 students. We also plan to hire a new part-time math and science teacher. Thank you to everyone in our special community who has continued to put in the love and support needed to nurture and grow this school!
