Blood Drive on Feb 1 in Memory of Mrs. Tooley
Traders Point Christian Schools is partnering with your American Red Cross to sponsor a blood drive in memory of Danielle Tooley on Wednesday, February 1st from 1 - 7 p.m. in our gymnasium.
Mrs. Tooley, a beloved teacher at Traders Point Christian Academy, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in July 2013. Blood transfusions were one component that helped Mrs. Tooley outlive her cancer for two and a half years until she passed on February 25th, 2016. She was a dearly loved wife, mother, sister, friend, teacher and artist.
Please join our lifesaving mission and give blood in memory of Danielle. Call or click the link below to schedule an appointment today!

Address: 6600 S. Indianapolis Road, Whitestown, IN, 46075
Location: Gymnasium
Date: Wed Feb 1, 2017

The need for blood is constant and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our community. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds and most of us will need blood in our lifetime.
Thank you for supporting the American Red Cross blood program and helping to keep Danielle’s memory and love of life alive!
Questions? Feel free to call Monique Clupper at 317-769-2450, ext. 154
American Red Cross Blood Services - 2025 E St. NW, Washington, DC, 20006K-12 Next Step Open House February 7th!
Why would a current family attend a TPCS Open House, you ask? Because you can talk with teachers for NEXT year and learn about what's ahead for your child(ren). Traders Point is always seeking to honor God through growth and improvement. Be sure you are "in the know" on all that is happening. If you didn’t join us at the fall open house (or if you have new questions) plan now to attend.
What do we have in store that evening?
- High School - families will be in the JK Stevens Commons for the evening; hear comments from principal Jason Klingerman and various faculty; talk with Mr Klingerman and HS faculty, parents and students. HS facility tours will be offered pre-event at 5:45 pm.
- Kindergarten families will meet at 6:30 with our KG teachers for a special session just for Kindergarten info.
- 1-8 - families will start in the TPCS gymnasium and hear from principals Erica Buchanan-Rivera and Shane Schaffer, and then move to classrooms to talk with teachers.
- Info and representatives will be available for parent involvement groups. A session on financial aid/vouchers and scholarships will be offered. Refreshments will be available free of charge.
REMEMBER: Families who want to tour the new Knights campus under construction can arrive early at the academy for guided tours at 5:45 pm. Contact admissions@tpcs.org for more information.

SCRIP- Shop to Earn Cash Back for Tuition!
With scrip fundraising, families can easily earn cash for tuition for their own children (80%) and for the school (20%) while they shop.
Scrip is simple. Order gift cards, e-cards, reloadable or printable certificates for many places at which you shop, dine and play already and a percentage of what you spend comes right back to you as a credit on your student account. Simply use scrip gift cards for everyday purchases, and earn a rebate on each one at no additional cost.
Scrip is easy. Families purchase online – no checks, no submitting order forms to the school -- and your cards/certificates are available either instantly for print, redemption on your Smartphone, or as reloadable gift cards. For more information, visit the Scrip website at www.shopwithscrip.com.
To sign up you will need our Traders Point enrollment code. However, we are unable to publicly publish our enrollment code for security reasons. Please email tpcascrip@gmail.com for this code and further directions.
We pray this will be a blessing to all of our Traders Point families!
