Good Morning Talawanda. Today is Friday, April 9th, 2021.

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.

Setting Stone is pleased to announce the theme for the upcoming issue: Movement! The magazine will be unified by creative pieces that represent literal and metaphorical forms of movement. BUT! The staff needs your submissions to make this possible. Please submit any of your creative writing, photography, or visual art pieces to settingstone@talawanda.org, or by bringing them to room 320. We hope you’ll be a part of our award winning publication!

Congratulations to FCCLA Members who found out last night they were slated for State and Regional Offices.  Lauren Slattery and Taylor Gregory were slated as regional officers, and Lillian Shelley was double slated for state officer as State Secretary and Vice President of Member Engagement.  We find out the results on April 22nd!

If you are over 16, Baker concrete is offering paid summer training in Monroe.  This could lead to a full time position if graduated and 18 and over.  See your counselor for more information.

The Talawanda Key Club is organizing a fundraiser  from April 12th-16th in cooperation with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Along with the fundraiser, Key Club would like to acknowledge any family members or friends of THS staff and students who have been impacted by cancer in any way. They encourage anyone who has been impacted to share a memory of a person close to them who has battled cancer.

Happy birthday today to Ben Crowder, Jada Tegge, Blake Puckett, and Austin Settles!
