This week is National School Counseling Week! Tecumseh Public Schools is lucky to have six dedicated school counselors who support our students every single day. Today, school counselors play a pivotal role in the problem-solving process, actively contributing to the preservation of the mental and emotional health of both students and parents. Their responsibilities range from advising on educational decisions to offering crucial mental health support, showcasing the diverse nature of their work as they dedicate themselves to promoting the well-being and success of students. As adept mental health professionals, school counselors aim to establish secure, positive, and reliable relationships with their students. We celebrate Trisha Mertens, Jami Cole, Jennifer Morgan, Michelle Doerfler, Deborah Followell, and Deb Laney. Thank you for your hard work!

Punxsutawney Phil didn’t see his shadow yesterday during Groundhog Day, meaning an early spring (allegedly)! Our Young 5s students at Tecumseh Acres Early Learning Center must have had the inside track because almost all of them predicted Phil wouldn’t see his shadow. I think our students are hoping for an early spring!

This Friday, there are two BIG rivalry home basketball games. The Tecumseh High School Varsity Girls and Boys teams are going head-to-head with Adrian. During halftime of the girls' game, TICWSS will be celebrated. However, the halftime during the boys' game will not be your typical halftime. There will be another game played. The THS Unified Basketball team will be taking on the Adrian Unified team. The Special Olympics created Unified basketball to pair students with and without intellectual disabilities to play together. The Unified Sports program at TPS is designed to bring people together through team sports. Our goal is to give students an opportunity to compete in various sports. Our THS students work with Unified athletes to build relationships and teach different skills. Please come and support our Unified and Varsity teams! Girls Varsity vs. Adrian - 5:30 pm (TICWSS at half) Boys Varsity vs. Adrian - 7 pm Unified Game - halftime of Boys Varsity game

There will be NO SCHOOL for Tecumseh Public Schools on Wednesday, January 24. Previously, the district was operating under a two-hour delay. The move to close the district is because of dense fog and freezing rain as we’re about to start our first bus run. There will be no childcare. Follow us on Facebook, X, and our app for the latest updates on today's sporting events and other scheduled events.

In November, Tecumseh High School and the District came together to host the "We Salute" Ceremony in the Sculpture Garden, honoring our veterans on Veteran's Day. For part of the ceremony, 80 yard signs were sold to families, providing a meaningful way to honor their loved ones who served or are currently serving. The signs were placed along the amphitheater seating in the garden. Each yard sign sold contributed $10 to the THS Sculpture Garden Committee. Alongside an additional $100 in cash donations, the committee proudly presented $900 to the Lenawee Veterans Dire Needs Fund! Thank you to everyone who participated in the ceremony and contributed to this wonderful cause. Your support makes a significant impact! #WeSalute #honoringveterans

During Winter Break, our maintenance, custodial, and technology teams, in collaboration with contracted partners, enhanced our buildings. They performed deep cleaning, essential maintenance on roofs, installed Preschool fixtures, executed crucial network updates, repaired security cameras (ensuring that all cameras are now operational in every building), and completed various other tasks. Additionally, the District efficiently repurposed sections of the retired Indian Stadium field turf, which has been installed in the barn at Tecumseh High School. This will provide a year-round use for student-athletes and potentially additional uses. Thanks to volunteers' collaborative efforts and fundraising, this installation was achieved at no extra cost to TPS. Thank you to our maintenance, custodial, and technology teams for their dedicated efforts during the break to ensure our buildings were prepared for the return of our students and staff. #buildingupdates #returntoclass

A special shout-out to several members of the District. Thank you to Joe Bundas (TMS teacher), Josh Mattison (Director of Operations), and Mary Tommelein (BOE Secretary), for graciously representing Tecumseh Public Schools during a special event before Christmas. The trio, along with other community members, took part in Bagging for a Difference at Jerry’s Market. They bagged groceries, and all the tips they received were donated to Lenawee Cares. Jerry’s Market also matched 100% of the tips! All the funds went towards the Lenawee Cares campaign for basic needs in the community. Thank you to everyone who took part and helped out!
