Free Fundamentals Softball Clinic Sign-Up Extended until Tuesday!
We have had several players sign up for next Saturday’s clinic. After receiving many additional inquiries during Parent-Teacher Conferences, we have decided to extend the reservation deadline until Tuesday.
Please be sure to turn in your sign-up sheets to your teachers, Mrs. Baughman or Mrs. Helmrick, by Tuesday.
Exciting new art project here at TC... Mrs. Femal, in the Elementary art room, had the second graders draw the best, most amazing stuffed animal they could think of. Then Mrs. Montgomery, in the High School art room, had her 3D students pick their favorite stuffed animal drawing to create it for that second grade student. Grace dreamed up this beautiful design and Avril did an amazing job of bringing the drawing to life! Both students did fantastic work!
After studying over 4,000 words (yes… FOUR THOUSAND!), Jaxten represented our school with determination, focus, and serious brainpower. That is a whole dictionary’s worth of dedication packed into one amazing student.
We are so proud of the hard work, perseverance, and confidence shown on that stage. Way to go, Jaxten!

Artist of the Week - Valentin Banda is an 8th grader in art, who designed this mural as a 7th grade student last year. Valentin's design was our runner up, so we held on to it to create it this year. His design is fantastic and was especially loved by our school principal. We tweaked the design slightly, and several fellow high school students helped to paint the mural and bring it to life. These students include: Callie Bacon, Aidan Brewer, Vanessa Garcia, Clay Houk, Addyson Rettler, Estrella Rodriguez, Parker Thoren and Kassie Wagenknecht. Extra effort was put in throughout the semester for all the little details by Aidan, Vanessa and Clay. Our new mural measures 4' x 4' and hangs in the cafeteria. It brings joy to everyone who sees it!
Bring a new teddy bear to toss onto the court at halftime and you’ll get into the game FREE!
All stuffed animals collected will be donated to SAFE – a children’s emergency support group, helping bring comfort to kids in difficult situations.
Let’s pack the stands, cheer on the team, and shower the court with bears for a great cause!
Artist of the Week - Mya Luna is a 7th grader in art. Mya did an excellent job all quarter! This piece is her clay vessel. Mya used her creativity and her craftsmanship to make a piece that stands out. Her work will be saved for our annual art show in May. Mya excelled at both 2D and 3D art forms.
