TPS Families – Please make sure to check your email today for an important COVID-related message that was sent this morning. Thank you for partnering with us to keep everyone healthy and safe!
Our tremendous thanks to TPS parents Melody Lynch-Kimrey and Michael Weinman, and TPS teacher Ishika Sinha, for spearheading International Night last week. They did such a wonderful job organizing inspirational and joyful learning experiences. Our gratitude to all the IU international centers and museums who shared their time and expertise with us. Huge props to our International Night Passions Class students for creating a stunning welcome station. And our very special thanks to the Duncan family for organizing their own family display (a great model for other families for future years!), and for donating the amazing raffle basket of Jamaican goodies! The winner of the basket has been notified. Our thanks to everyone who purchased raffle tickets – together we raised $180 that can be used for future international learning. If you’re on Facebook, check out the album of beautiful photos from the event!
We are so excited about International Night tonight, from 6-8p -- we will have 10 exciting global stations to explore! Remember that we also have an amazing Tastes of Jamaica raffle basket... tickets are $10 or 3/$20 (check, exact cash, or TPS mobile app). Hope to see you there!
TPS Families & Staff, remember to set your clocks back one hour before heading to bed tonight, and enjoy the extra hour of sleep tomorrow morning!
TPS is participating in a creative fundraiser with Art to Remember that allows you to purchase keepsake products customized with your child's art. There are over 60 products and many are less than $15. These make great gifts, and a percentage of every purchase goes right back to our school. Visit Art to Remember and enter the online order code shown on your child's order form (which you should have received), or search for your child's artwork. Then, have fun shopping! Payment deadline for free shipping to TPS is November 10. After that, loved ones can still order until December 29, but will only have the option to ship their orders to their homes and pay a shipping fee. TPS will still earn full profit on those orders shipping to home. Thanks for supporting the Arts at TPS! Questions about Art to Remember? Contact Ms. Sara!
A quick reminder that tomorrow (Thursday, October 26), we'll be doing school photos for all of our Intermediate and Middle School students, as well as any of our Primary students who were absent today and missed their scheduled day.

TPS Families driving their kiddos out to Field Days, today through Thursday: this morning we discovered the DOT closing Burma Road to the east of Yard Dogs Farm. Therefore, families will need to utilize Bottom Road to get to the field day location. We will send more detailed information to our Intermediate and Primary families before their Field Days tomorrow and Thursday. Our apologies for this previously unknown inconvenience!
