CTE teachers, Mrs. Day, Mrs. Schlegel and Ms. Gleason took 30 eighth grade CTE students to the design lab at NC State yesterday. It was a great trip! Students toured campus and worked through a design project with NC state staff! TMS students saw the studio for architecture students, first year design students creating with paper, industrial design classrooms and studios, makerspaces and the wood design shop. Teachers overheard multiple students say "I want to go to school here!"




1st Quarter PBIS reward is just around the corner. We would like to treat our deserving "Pirates" to a small treat as they receive their pirate passport and sticker.
If you can donate please drop off in the front office. Thank you so much as we support and encourage positive behavior throughout our school days at TMS.
