The elementary instructional coaches and technology integrationist are very excited to receive the Illinois Retired Teachers Association Grant. Suzanne Specha, Cara Thomas, and Paula Moutrey will use the generous grant money to purchase KaiBots to use in the elementary classrooms. These fun robots will create a rich and engaging way to teach & learn coding skills. They will also allow students to solve mazes, puzzles, or escape rooms.

Good morning everyone,
It’s that time of year again! Friday, October 13th, 2023 is our 3rd Annual Folds of Honor / Military Appreciation Game vs. Charleston. Attached is a link to ‘Military Themed THS’ apparel that we sell to help Folds of Honor (100% of the proceeds go directly to FOH). Tornado students, teachers, parents, and fans can purchase this apparel (via online) for ONE WEEK. The apparel will be delivered to THS prior to the 10/13/23 game (all are encouraged to wear this apparel that day to show support!)
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me and thank you for your support!
