Mrs. Rice’s 8th grade history classes recently completed a unit of study on the United States Flag Code. Students analyzed the meaning of the words in the Pledge of Allegiance, discussed proper display and disposal of the American flag, proper etiquette during the playing of the Star-Spangled Banner, and how to properly fold the American flag.

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!

A tribute to Mr. Allan Rohrer, the first principal at TJHS, circa 1965. Eileen Mateer and fellow 5th grader Amber Achenbach correctly answered the trivia question from yesterday's 5th grade class meeting. Congratulations and we honor Mr. Rohrer who served this community from 1965-1992. Thank you for a legacy of excellence!
We are happy to be back outside for these beautiful days during recess...

TJHS Lunch Balance Information Update: Dear TJHS Community,
In an effort to minimize and mitigate the shock of oversized lunch account deficits we are sending Skyward reminders every Friday to the guardians of any student that has a negative balance of $10 or more. Until the balance is addressed, students will not be allowed to purchase extra a la carte items.
Thank you and we are addressing with each class this week so our students are aware of the policy shift. Please have the discussion at home as well. The shock of a $300 TJHS cafeteria bill will hopefully not occur due to the advanced notifications.
Thank you--Eric Bruder, principal
