We still have two more days to shop the Scholastic Book Fair. Tomorrow, our 7th grade will get to walk through and shop; our 8th grade students will have their shopping day Friday. There is still time for everyone to find a great book at this year's fair!
TCMS will be going to the High School on April 16 to see the Entertainers perform @ 12:30. Bus transportation will be provided and permission slips will be sent home. Permission slips will need to be returned by April 9. If a student does not return a permission slip they will not be allowed to attend and no permission slips will be accepted after April 9.
Today is the 5th grade shopping day here at the TCMS Book Fair; but we are also hosting the Friends & Family Event tonight from 3:30 - 5:30 PM. Please stop in and shop with us if you are able; there really is nothing like the Scholastic Book Fair! Remember 6th grade shops Wednesday. For our entire schedule, please visit our book fair page: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/tcms25
❤️🖤💙💛
As a reminder, our Parent Teacher Conference will be Thursday, March 27. 3:30-5:30.
On April 23 and 24, Tiffany Helke, MBA, from the Bureau for Public Health, will be here to present to the 8th grade students only. All items discussed will be age appropriate. The students will be divided into two separate groups (male and female).
Topics to Discuss Include:
1. Reproductive Life Plans- just asking simple questions of 1. Would you want a family? 2. At what age would you like to have a family (if they answered yes)? 3. Are there any goals they would like to complete first (such as go to college, find a career path, travel the world, be financially secure)? and 4. What does it take to raise a baby or what does a baby need?
2. Characteristics of Healthy and Unhealthy Relationships-talking to trusted adults when there are concerns.
3. MythBusters- this is a game about facts and fiction for reproductive health such as pregnancy, STIs, and bullying.
4. Ovulation Demonstration/ Review- talking about how the egg is released from the ovary, fertilizes in the fallopian tube, and implementation to the uterus lining.
5. Birth Control facts- reviewing the types from a brochure that provides statistical efficiency, length of use, and what each one is.
6. STI/STD/HIV- reviewing the common types (Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Chlamydia, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B, Herpes, Pubic Lice, Trichomoniasis, and HPV), symptoms of each and how to protect oneself.
7. Transmission Game- shows how easily they can spread.
8. WV Family Planning Program Information- providing students with the Grafton-Taylor Health Dept. that offers services from our program for free and provides confidentiality.
A permission slip will be sent home and will need to be returned by April 16 to the homeroom teacher. If a student does not turn in a slip, they will not attend. No late signed permission slips will be accepted.
Thank You in advance
