TCMS Knights are challenging our students to help make our canned food drive a success. Students will be able to drop off their canned food during the mornings of December 14th and 15th. Each canned food up to 5 will allow them earn a blue ticket that they can redeem for a bonus point in a class of their choice.
We also have a school wide challenge of receiving 800 cans donated to watch Mrs. T, Mrs. Waters and Mr. Moore take a pie in the face during our winter sports thuse on December 20th.
