Junior high families, GREAT news! Your student worked hard today to plan out your family Thanksgiving, so they can handle all of the preparations and shopping for you this year!😄🦃 In all seriousness, our junior high students put their math skills to the test as they planned a Thanksgiving meal. They created their perfect menu, researched recipes, budgeted, and added the prices of their items to find the grand total. Some general conclusions they came to throughout the day: "Life is expensive!” was expressed several times. "I want to stay young forever," "How do adults manage?”, and "I have to learn how to find things on sale!” Today was a fun day of learning life skills, and developing a thankful and grateful heart for the people in our lives who work hard to provide for us! 🧡

🐅💙 Proud Tiger Moment! 🐅💙 Today we were reminded why we do what we do. Our Thompsonville School District hosted a Field Day Event earlier this year for surrounding schools and this week, we received the sweetest surprise. We were sent a heartfelt thank you letter from a K–3 Special Education teacher at Sesser, along with a wall full of handmade thank you drawings from their students. Their teachers shared that their students are still talking about the event and that it was a highlight of their school year so far with all the fun games. And that the T-shirts we provided are something they’ll cherish for a long time. Seeing these notes and pictures reminds us how important these community days are and not just for fun, but for connection, joy, and making every child feel seen, included, and celebrated. To our volunteers, staff, sponsors, and students, YOU made this impact happen. Your time, your energy, your heart… it mattered more than you know. And to our friends at Sesser: Thank YOU for taking the time to share these sweet letters and artwork. It truly made our day. #ThompsonvillePride #TvilleTigers #CommunityMatters #FieldDay #MakingADifference
