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.

A fun time yesterday at Sutton Early Learning Center.
Students and staff participated in a PBIS school-wide celebration for being Safe, Kind, and Responsible.
Students can earn pride tickets for being Safe, Kind, and Responsible. Each teacher keeps a tally of the tickets as they work to reach their class goals. When the school hits its goal, there's a school-wide celebration. In this case, a dance party!
PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. It promotes positive relationships among students and staff and creates a respectful culture for all students.
Right now, enrollment continues for preschool here at Tecumseh Public Schools. We still have several open spots.
If you or someone you know is looking for a preschool for their three- or four-year-old, don't hesitate to contact the director, Shawn Behnke, at sbehnke@tps.k12.mi.us or call 517-424-9957 for information.
We have both tuition-based programs and Great Start Readiness Programs. You can also inquire directly about GSRP for four-year-olds at lenaweefreepreschools.org to see if you qualify for a GSRP placement.
