More images of Mrs. Johnson's 5th graders got their hands dirty today with a Mystery Science experiment! They investigated decomposers and soil nutrients to answer the big question: do worms really eat dirt?

In remembrance of her brother Troy "Charlie" Tolan's recent passing in May of 2025, Jackie Tolan has made a very thoughtful and generous donation to the TJHS Art department. Sketchbooks went to every 5th grade student and 20 nice wooden weaving looms went directly to the art department for student use.

Jackie cited that her brother Troy, a Taylorville resident, was an avid artist with a love for sketching that permeated his daily life. Jackie recalled that "He always carried a sketchbook with him wherever he went, always giving away drawings" to those he found company with. He was particularly interested in drawing and painting graffiti art and unique, playful robot characters.

Jackie shared one of Troy's last social media posts that was particularly poignant. It reads, "I consistently say 'make art friends' because I truly believe artists make life better. You don't have to be a famous artist or even a good artist, you can be a bad artist and you're still gonna improve existence for having tried."

A very special and heartfelt THANK YOU to Jackie Tolan from the TJHS art community! May Troy's memory live on in our students!

Honoring Aurora’s Patriotism at North Elementary School!

After seeing our recent post about TJHS student, Aurora Sleboda and her dedication to caring for the American flag each day, the THS Football Program wanted to recognize her in a special way.

Today, Ethan Smith, a THS football player, visited North to present Aurora with an American Flag helmet sticker. In the THS Football Program, this sticker is awarded to players who demonstrate patriotism, community spirit, and leadership both on and off the field, making it a true symbol of pride and honor.

Thank you to Jeb Odam and the THS Football Program for acknowledging Aurora’s pride, initiative, and service. Congratulations, Aurora, on this well-deserved recognition! 🏈💙❤️ 🏈🎖️
