TGMS Weekly Updates
December 11, 2023
A message from Mr. Kauffeld
A heartfelt thank you to our school families, staff and students for your generous support of our Holiday Outreach to ensure families in need have a special holiday season! We raised over $2,000 for our families!
Toll Gate Middle School students once again participated in projects that give back to the community. Money was raised through various activities in order to help Pickerington families during the holiday season and classrooms made blankets to support the Tie a Knot for Warmth drive.
Thank you for your support of our service projects. In the midst of what is always a very hectic season, pausing for just a moment to discuss a simple act of charity can add significant meaning to your family’s holiday, as well as throughout the rest of the year.
