Good morning Talawanda, today is Monday, February 14th, 2022.

This week is National FCCLA Week!  Today is member appreciation day.  Here at THS we have 201 students who are FCCLA members and have taken an FCS class this year!   We appreciate all that you do!  Thanks for all the hard work in our school and community!  Nationally there are 155,000 members with over 8,000 statewide.

In honor of FCCLA and FFA Weeks, we will be holding a food drive of non-perishable food items from today until February 26th. Drop off your items in boxes located in the front offices of all the schools. At THS we will be awarding the top 3 first period classrooms with donuts!

If you signed up to perform at the February 25th Coffee House–there will be an important meeting after school this THURSDAY–if you plan to perform at the Coffee House, you must attend this meeting. Again, anyone planning to perform at the February 25th Coffee House must attend a meeting in room 320 right after school this Thursday!

And now on this Valentines day, we tried to find a friend.
