To earn the 1st grade black belt, students had to jump 50 times in a row.

Mr. Jason Wolters is the February Teacher of the Month at TJHS. Mr. Wolters has reinvigorated the Art program and students are responding in kind. He teaches because the kids are fun and open to new things. He likes interacting with them and enjoys hearing positive feedback from students who tell him they want to be an Art teacher too.
Ms. Kaileigh Rash is the February support staff member of the month. Ms. Rash loves working with students and thinks that teachers have such a large impact on the lives of their students. She had some amazing teachers and just wants to have the same impact. Her fondest memory so far is interacting with all the wonderful staff and watching the kids grow and succeed.

THS Students and Parents! Attendance is important! There is a direct correlation between attendance and academic success! We want to see our THS Family each and every day!
Miss Bitschenauer’s class has been researching different types of frogs and toads in class after learning the frog life cycle. Students made a slideshow with facts of their frog or toad assigned to them to present to the class. They got to learn how to include pictures in google slides and search the internet in a kid friendly way!
The TJHS Student Council would like to thank everyone who participated in the Land of Lincoln Honor Flight fundraiser. The goal was to raise $500, and they were able to raise $550 for this very worthy cause.
