Brad Hurtig--"Find a Way" Assembly
Brad shared how losing both of his hands in an industrial accident changed the way he views life and that when challenges inevitably occur, you have a choice to make. One can choose to be defined by them, or overcome adversity and adapt. Great message for our TJHS kiddos!!!

Fannie May Candy Sales Info
Second graders got a lesson on coding that involved no technology. They learned the most basic principle of computer coding is learning to follow a set of instructions. Then they practiced their skills by writing some simple "code" of their own and challenged their classmates and teachers to solve their codes. #unpluggedcoding
These TJHS students recently competed in and won Mr. Brown's 6th grade math maze challenge. Congratulations!

Please stay in your car; our student council representative will deliver the candy directly to you. Thank you for supporting TJHS.

Kindergarten classes had the opportunity to build their own Mini Mayflower foil boats this week. Students worked as a team to design a boat that could hold the most "pilgrims" possible. Ms. Specha helped them to test their designs, while practicing their skip counting by 5's. Several teams designed boats that held 102 pilgrims, the same number as on the original Mayflower.
The varsity and junior varsity boys basketball teams along with Coach Ryan Brown were greeters at Memorial Elementary on Wednesday morning. The basketball players greeted the students at the doors and mingled with them in the multipurpose room.
