It's Election Day!
Instead of discussing what's on the ballot relating to Tecumseh Public Schools, this post focuses on some of our students.
Tecumseh High School students Aaron Norden, Izaac Morrison, and Ray Ferguson are certified Election Inspectors!
The trio went through hours of training to be sworn in to help work the polls today. They will welcome voters to the precinct, verify voter registration, issue ballots, and more!
If you're voting at Raisin Community Center, don't forget to say hi!
Tomorrow is a very critical election day for Tecumseh Public Schools. We have two bond proposals on the ballot that will help shape the future of our District.
For more information on the proposals, please visit https://tpsbond.com/
Please remember to make your voice heard and vote tomorrow, November 8th!
If you're voting in person, visit https://mvic.sos.state.mi.us/ to learn more.

If you're interested in supporting the 'Victory for Vann' campaign, we have bracelets available for purchase at Tecumseh Middle School for $3.
If you do not have a student who attends TMS but still want to purchase a bracelet, please call 517-423-1105. The fine folks in the office will get you squared away.
Thank you for supporting the Burpee family. You got this, Vann!
TPS family and community, we are asking for your support.
Recently, Tecumseh Middle School 6th grader Vann Burpee was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. He has gone through biopsy surgery to figure out what the next course of action is. Unfortunately, the tumor cannot be surgically removed.
As Vann and his family go through this next phase, we hope you will support the 'Victory for Vann' campaign.
Starting now and for the next several weeks, we are selling shirts with 100% of proceeds going to Vann and his family.
Please consider supporting the Burpee family during this challenging time.
Thank you!

A small act of love, such as donating a pair of socks, can make a big difference in the lives of our homeless or needy neighbors.
Right now, students and staff at Tecumseh Middle School and Tecumseh High School (high school drive put on by Sources of Strength) are collecting new socks for Socktober!
Small gifts matter, and as the weather turns cooler, even one donation of new socks can make a world of difference for someone in need.
If you want to donate, you can send the socks to school with your student or drop them off at TMS or THS.

Our student body had a great experience today with the 'Super U! Challenge.'
This one-of-a-kind assembly took place at Patterson Intermediate Learning Center. The assembly uses a unique format of a wacky kid's TV game show to help students understand that their words and actions impact everyone around them. This helps empower our students to do their part to create a safe and friendly school community.
The action-packed assembly included lots of audience volunteers who participated in funny challenges with costumes and silly props.
Have a special or encouraging message for our students or staff? You have an opportunity to make it permanent.
From now to December 1, we are taking orders for personalized pavers. These pavers will be installed in the Sculpture Garden at Tecumseh High School.
The pavers are $150 and will also benefit the art department at THS. If you like, you can donate to the art department for future updates to the Sculpture Garden.
