TC Band & Guard - Tipton Pork Festival 💙💛
First grade got a surprise visit from a few Kokomo Firefighters. We are learning about community helpers.
Team Goad STEM challenge today was to try to save the people from the burning building. Students were given 20 popsicle sticks, 3 pipe cleaners and 10 pieces of tape to make a ladder.
Third graders learned about how our country became united after 9/11. Each student colored a tile which came together to make one big picture. America, with many unique individuals, came together to form one huge support team. Tri-Central Trojans use lifelines and life goals to learn how to do exactly that!
Good luck to our middle school Cross Country runners at the Maconaquah invitational!
Tri-Central 7th graders went to Stellantis Engine Plant where they got insight from various team leads, UAW union representatives, and the plant manager about the manufacturing field. Students got to participate in engineering and physics activities.
TCE picture day is quickly approaching!

Special speaker for third grade about 9/11 today.
Check out these Pre-K students creating their first paintings in the art room! Students learned that they have to hold their paintbrushes like a ballerina! They practiced gliding their brushes across the paper as the brushes stood on their tippy toes. 🖌️🧑🎨🎨 Small School, Big Results! 💙💛💙
Third grade students in Miss O's class doing some "get to know you" questions with play-doh.
First grade visitor today. Zooey came in to visit us with her community helper. Quincy is her diabetic dog and he can sense when her sugars are off.
Thank you to Sheriff Tebbe for visiting with our first grade students this past week.
Today some of the third graders discovered that you can research not only with technology, but also by taking a trip to the library! Everyone was excited to learn how to use the World Book Encylopedia. Students were very engaged while exploring different topics such as types of gems, braces, and bugs!
Recent TC Graduates, don't forget to apply for the Spencer Scholarship before October 1 (this is renewable for 4 years). Contact TC Guidance.
So proud of this group of student athletes coming in early this morning for practice. It's been a hard road this season, but this is where success begins!
