My Closet
"My Closet" (A New Clothing Pantry)
What Is “My Closet”?
“My Closet” is a clothing pantry where Tipton Community School Corporation and partners in the community come together to provide new, name brand clothes free of charge to students in need. Students who attend Tipton Community School Corporation are allowed to “shop” for a jacket, shirt, pants, socks, underwear and receive a haircut certificate from “Absolutely You” Salon. Students may “shop” one time each semester. Everything is free, and parents do not need to meet strict income guidelines. The only requirement is the parents / guardians feel the student needs a new outfit and they cannot afford to buy one. All students in grades Pre-K through Seniors in high school are eligible.
How Do I Set Up An Appointment?
Anyone wanting to schedule an appointment to “shop” should contact Mrs. Schultz, Program Director by calling 317-677-3477 or 675-7521 ext. 2235. (These are new numbers, the old one will not work).
Winter Coats Available in October
Winter coats, hats and gloves are available beginning October 17th. Students in need of a coat are able to get one at no cost. They are limited to one each school year. Contact Mrs. Schultz to set up a time to “shop” for a coat.
How Is “My Closet” Funded?
“My Closet” is funded by the generous people of Tipton County and others throughout Indiana. Funds come from local churches, businesses, philanthropic groups and individuals who want to help families that are struggling financially. These donors have joined TCSC in the belief that every child deserves to have a new outfit, good shoes and a warm winter coat. Not only are clothes a basic necessity, but a new outfit can help boost self-esteem.
Jubilee Christmas
Applications for Jubilee Christmas are available through Mrs. Schultz beginning October 1st. To obtain an application for help at Christmas, please contact Mrs. Schultz at 675-7521 ext. 2235 or 317-677-3477.

HOMEWORK
- Kindergarten: 10 minutes per night
- Grades 1-2: 20 minutes per night
- Grades 3-5: 30 minutes per night
These minutes are the maximum your child should have per night. If you are noticing that your child is spending more than this number on a consistent basis, please make your child's teacher aware. Open communication between home and school is a key component in working together for student success.

Monthly Lesson from Ms. Carter - November
This month, I will be having a discussion with students in Grades K-5 about the importance of gratitude. "Gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships" (Harvard Medical School).
Students will also have an opportunity to contribute to our school wide thankfulness project. Students and staff can write and/or draw something they are thankful for on individual paper leaves. Those leaves will then be added to a bulletin board that makes up our TES Thankfulness Trees.
