Let's Get Walking - March Movement with Mrs. Gumm
“MARCH MOVEMENT”
A TGMS Morning Walking Program
Tuesdays and Thursday beginning March 2, 2023
During the month of March, Mrs. Gumm, our Physical Education teacher, and Mrs. Saksa, School Counselor, will offer "March Movement", a morning walking program. This program will be offered Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 8:00 - 8:25 am. We will be outside, weather permitting so please dress accordingly. If we have inclement weather (it's Ohio after all!) we will walk inside. "March Movement" will kick off Thursday, March 2nd. Students may enter through the Main Entrance. Appropriate footwear is required. Come join us while we work on moving more during the month of March.
Greetings from the MEDIA CENTER!
Just wanted to update everyone on the media center and how your help during the book fair is being utilized. An order for 102 books using $1069.32 has just been completed. We have $0.34 cents left over. Our total would have been well over $1300, if not for Barnes and Noble and their generous discount. I am so excited about this and just want to say thank you again for all of your help with the fund raiser back in December.
