Thank you to all the parents who took time out of their day to join us—we truly appreciate your support and involvement! 🐾
On Tuesday, February 17, band students under the direction of Mrs. Akridge participated in a Pre-LGPE Clinic held at the Performing Arts Center on the campus of Georgia Southern University. Students had the opportunity to perform their LGPE music in a collegiate performance venue and work directly with an experienced clinician who provided in-depth, individualized feedback.
LGPE (Large Group Performance Evaluation) is a statewide assessment where ensembles are evaluated on tone quality, technique, balance, and musicality. Clinics such as this allow students to refine their performance skills in a professional setting while gaining insight into the adjudication process. This experience represents a valuable step in their preparation and growth as musicians. We are extremely proud of their focus, effort, and professionalism.
Save the Date: Free Sports Physicals @ TCMS on April 29.
*Students can pick up the sports physical packets at the Gym or with the Connection Teachers.
*Packets must be completed by a parent/guardian and students must turn it in by April 17.
🏅🌎 Olympic Fever at TCMS! 🌎🏅
Students in Mrs. Dowell’s, Mrs. Cloud’s, and Mr. Herndon’s class have been diving into the excitement of the Olympics! Each student was assigned a country and has been learning about its flag, culture, and how math plays a major role in athletics.
Every other day, students graph their country’s medal count, and once a week, medals are awarded. The competition is heating up, and the excitement is REAL! 📊🥇
We can’t wait to see which country earns the most medals at the end of the two weeks… but at the end of the day, we’re all cheering together as Team USA!❤️💙
