We also want to wish the following students the best of luck in the final leg of the competition as they advance to the 9th District: Joanna Kruglick (8th) - Film Production, Payton Atkinson (7th) - Photography, and Natalie Hone (7th) - Music Composition.
Those results will be posted as soon as they are announced. All Reflections Awards will be delivered to your RAM classroom after the final level of judging is complete.

6th Grade Camp is Coming!
All 6th Graders attending camp will need to show proof of a negative Covid-19 test 72 hours prior to boarding the bus for camp. In order to facilitate this for parents and students, TPMS will be offering a Covid testing opportunity on Sunday, February 12th from 12-2pm on our campus. Families can bring their own over-the-counter test to use, written documentation of a completed test dated after 9am on 2/10, or you can sign up to reserve a free 30 minute test that the school will provide you on campus. To sign-up and/or reserve your Covid test for the February 12th testing session, please CLICK HERE.
ITEMS NEEDED FOR CAMP: Some of our students may not have all of the items they need to attend camp comfortably. Please let our Counseling Team know if you have a sleeping bag, jacket, sweatshirt, gloves, scarf, or hat that you or your kids no longer use and would like to donate. These are the most common items needed, but you can view the complete list below. Thanks so much for supporting 6th Grade Camp!
