Right now, Leadership students from Tecumseh High School are doing their part to maybe ease the awkwardness and anxiety for our youngest Tecumseh Middle School students.
They're creating Puberty Kits for 5th graders. These types of kits usually consist of things like deodorant, body wash, and other products.
If you're interested in helping out, the Leadership class has created an Amazon Wish List.
We're looking to collect items by February 10th. Thanks!

Students from Siena Heights University and Adrian College popped in for a visit yesterday at Tecumseh Middle School.
The college students are soon-to-be teachers and worked with the TMS Educators Rising Club on a project. Our students created poster-size bulletin boards focused on a children’s story.
The group works with our middle schoolers on the best skills and strategies to read aloud a book to young students.
Teacher and advisor Jennifer Gentry led the way, guiding students on questions and other details.
There will be NO SCHOOL for Tecumseh Public Schools on Monday, January 16th, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
School resumes on Tuesday, January 17th.
Art students this week have been working on artist maquettes. This project is part of Christine Obeid’s Art and Design class at Tecumseh High School.
A maquette is a model for a larger piece of sculpture, created to visualize how it might look and to work out approaches and materials for how it might be made.
Students have been creating miniatures in honor of famous artists, including Vincent van Gogh, Marc Chagall, Rembrandt, and Leonardo da Vinci.
They’re working together to create these pieces and are showing their creativity in their work.
Congratulations to Amanda Spohn!

There’s been an overwhelming amount of support for Tecumseh Middle School student Vann Burpee and his family.
If you remember, Vann was diagnosed with a malignant non-operable brain tumor. He’s already gone through several surgeries and is currently undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
If you would like to support Vann and his family, the ‘Victory for Vann’ t-shirt fundraiser is still going. All proceeds from the fundraiser will go to the Burpee family in support of Vann’s treatment.
Thank you!
