7th Grade - Power Up to College!
An IU Kokomo representative spoke to our 7th grade students about the Power Up to College program on Friday, October 27, 2023. This is a program that encourages positive college and career-ready behaviors and that could ultimately earn your student a scholarship if they choose to complete the program and attend IUK after graduation. If you have further questions about the program please e-mail Cheryl Schlemmer at caschlem@iuk.edu.
Attention 7th and 8th Grade Parents - 21st Century Scholars
This week, Telisha Glassburn, a Tipton High School counselor, spoke with all 7th and 8th graders regarding the 21st Century Scholars Program! The program offers income-eligible Hoosier students up to four years of paid tuition at an eligible Indiana college or university after they graduate from high school, depending upon financial need. Your students were provided a packet with information.
For full requirements, including maximum annual income, visit Scholars.IN.gov/enroll.
If you have questions or need assistance enrolling, you can contact Telisha Glassburn at tglassburn@tcsc.k12.in.gov.
AllinforAlec!
One way that you can show that support is by purchasing some apparel for that night. TMS has partnered with R&P Business Group to design some T-shirts, which we are selling for $15 each. All profits from the T-shirts will go towards Alec and his treatment, and we would like to encourage all of our Blue Devils to show up on November 28th in these shirts to show Alec our love and support as he faces this health challenge. The link to order those shirts can be found HERE (Shirts will be delivered to TMS prior to the 28th, and can be picked up at the TMS office when they come in). Furthermore, TMS will be selling “AllinforAlec” bracelets at upcoming home Basketball games, with all proceeds again benefiting Alec.
We know that other groups (including the HS Basketball Boosters) are also doing some things to support our Coach Weddell. This is great too! Regardless of how you feel moved to support a fellow Blue Devil, we look forward to seeing everyone on the 28th!
