Good Morning Talawanda. Today is Thursday, March 18th, 2021.

Best Buddies and Hope Squad want to celebrate inclusion, self-care, and Spring Break with a tie-dye day on Friday! Wear your favorite tie-dye to support inclusion and to help us celebrate World Down Syndrome Day on March 21.

Students, also look for a link from your English teacher to take the pledge to Spread the Word: Inclusion. Sign the Google Form to pledge to not use derogatory language toward individuals with disabilities in everyday language. Help Best Buddies spread inclusion at THS! 

Would you like to help a new student adapt to THS?  We are bringing back the ambassador program to match current students with new students.  Applications are available in the counseling office or online on the counseling website.

FCCLA will be hosting the spring Blood Drive to be held on Friday April 16th, 7:30-11:30.  You must be 16 years old to donate.  Each Donation Saves 3 Lives!  Sign ups will start after spring break, forms will be available then.

Now for Zachetology with Luke West Poley and Zach Sens

The baseball team fell in a scrimmage last night to Taylor by a 4-3 score, Parker Geshan had fence level power in that one, the team has two more scrimmages before starting the regular season up next week, the first of which will be a road trip to Roger Bacon Saturday and the latter the preseason finale at home versus Sycamore on Wednesday.
