Good morning Talawanda today is Monday, September 19th, 2022.
After a fierce competition during spirit week, the Seniors have been crowned the class champions of Talawanda High School. The second place class, surprising everyone, was the Freshman, followed by the Sophomores, and in last place was the Juniors. The Junior class better step up next year if they hope to hold off a challenge from this Freshman class. The Penny War money raised last week will be going to help fund our Best Buddies program at THS, thanks to all who donated, and all those that participated throughout the week.
Parent teacher conferences are Thursday so make sure you have your grades are looking good before then. Talk to your teachers if you are missing any assignments➠
Brave Day for Sophomores will be held October 4th or October 6th for Sophomores, depending on your last name. Brave Day is Talawanda’s family building and school leadership event that is held every year for students. You will be receiving more information about this day in the next few weeks, and if you have any questions about the day please see Mr. Zimmerman in Room 301.
