Timpson ISD Collegiate Center News – The Timpson ISD Collegiate Center offers Timpson ISD students the opportunity to receive an  associates two year college degree, certifications and licenses.  On Monday October 24 the TISD counseling staff met with 33 eighth and ninth grade students and their parents to develop a plan that puts students on the path to take dual credit classes that would lead to certification or licenses. Currently 33 students are taking dual credit classes that will give them  both high school and college credit that can lead to a two year associates college degree.  The classes students are currently taking include speech, English, humanities, psychology, history, business, biology, arts, government, math and music.  One student is taking welding and five are working toward a  Certified Nurse’s Assistant certificate.  If your child is in the 8th or 9th grade and you did not get to attend the meeting on October 24th you may schedule a meeting time by calling Stephanie Behrens at 936/254-2463 Ext. 4117.

Red Ribbon Week - This week Timpson Elementary celebrated Red Ribbon week along with rest of the nation. The national theme for the week was “YOLO! Be Drug Free!” YOLO stands for “You Only Live Once” so you need to be Drug Free. Since Timpson Elementary has a Disney Theme this year we celebrated each day of the week with a different Disney theme. Some of our activities for the week included signing drug free pledges, morning announcements about the importance of being drug free, a coloring contest for grades PK – 1, an essay contest for grades 2 – 5, and a costume contest.

 

The costume contest winners were: Gretta Oliver as Nemo, Mackenzie Smith as Boo, Avery Metcalf as Minnie Mouse, Baylor Kimbro as Flint, and Christopher Gross as Captain Hook. These winners will be awarded prizes next week.

 

The essay contest winners were: 3rd place- Shelby Holloway, 2nd Place- Natalie Johnson, 3rd Place- Cameron Lavoie, and Grand Prize Winner- Kenley Moore. These winners will receive Walmart gift cards next week.

 

The coloring contest winners were: 3rd place- Jared Tyre, 2nd Place- Brecken Kimbro, 1st Place- Brennan Hulsey, and Grand Prize Winner- Noel Resendiz. These winners will receive Walmart gift cards next week.
