What a fun day at Patterson Intermediate Learning Center. Students and staff getting in on the action for an old-fashioned Sock Hop! Many took part in the 1950's style, wearing costumes, taking part in hula hoop dances and more.
It was Sock Hop day at Patterson Intermediate Learning Center .
Students and staff were rewinding decades for an old-fashioned 50s sock hop. During the event, students and staff busted a move before learning how to twist, jive and limbo themselves. At the end of the Sock Hop, students were treated to root beer floats!
Have you had the chance to download the Tecumseh Public Schools app? If not, it’s so easy to do.
Where to find the app:
• For Android: https://bit.ly/3oPn4BI
• For iPhone: https://apple.co/2LU0Obu
We’ve made some changes to the app. When you first load it, the ‘Home’ page features the ‘Live Feed’ and ‘Events.’ However, you know have the ability to make the app appear like the desktop version of the website. Just click ‘Menu’ and you’ll see the options bar. Click ‘Full Website’ and you’re good to go!
We also want to make sure you’re aware of the ‘Push Notifications’ feature. This feature keeps you in the loop when the district pushes out information through the app. That way you will not miss any updates from the district, like brand new stories, Live Feed updates, school closures and more.
For more information on the ‘Push Notifications,’ follow the steps on the attached graphic.

Just like at Herrick Park Intermediate Learning Center, students at Patterson ILC are at the anchor desk reading the 'news.'
Today was the first day the anchors read the morning announcements to their classmates... and they're naturals. We may have some future journalists on our hands.
The students love it, the staff loves it, and we encourage all students to take part in the announcements.
Watch out, news industry. Some of our youngest students are gunning for your jobs!
Starting this week, 3rd and 4th graders at Herrick Park Intermediate Learning Center began delivering the ‘news’ to their fellow classmates and the staff. Normally, the principal may make the morning announcements, but our students have taken over those duties.
News of the day consists of the anchors leading everyone in the Pledge of Allegiance, events at Herrick Park, the weather, random facts, and more.
Also, on Fridays, the anchors hold a drawing for READY Expectations winners. Winners get their choices of several available prizes.
READY Expectations are: Respectful, Exhibit Safety, Accountable, Determined, You Belong. Teachers and staff have been working hard teaching and practicing these building wide expectations with all students. Students are acknowledged for their behaviors they exhibit through READY tickets.
The concession stand at Tecumseh Middle School is looking a little different these days.
Kiwanis Club of Tecumseh Key Club members, Allie and Elle, were working concessions the other day and felt the concession stand needed a facelift. Their work has definitely livened up the area a bit more.
Tecumseh Middle School Builders Club and Key Club members run the concession stand during every home game.
The TMS Builders Club is the largest service organization for middle school students. One of the great things about this club is that it's student run!
Tecumseh High School parents and students:
Because of today's snow day, the exam schedule at THS will be pushed by one day.
On Wednesday (1/26), students and staff will follow Tuesday's exam schedule. Thursday will be the last day of exams as it was published on January 17th Revised Exam schedule.
WE'RE HIRING!!!

Welcome back, Sgt. Chad Rodgers!
Sgt. Rodgers from the Tecumseh Police Department returned to TPS as the district's Student Resource Officer earlier this week.
This is Sgt. Rodgers second stint serving Tecumseh Public Schools. He was the SRO for the district from January 2019 until this past spring.
Tecumseh High School had some special visitors stop by yesterday.
Monday was National Bird Day, so the Michigan Avian Experience brought a Great Horned Owl and a Bald Eagle to school.
The beautiful birds were brought to Christine Obeid’s art class for a drawing project. Artists had the opportunity to ‘draw from life’ as the birds were great drawing subjects.
The Great Horned Owl is aggressive and powerful in its hunting. It takes prey as varied as rabbits, hawks, snakes, and even skunks, and will even attack porcupines. However, the owl was a peach during its visit at THS.
Besides being the national bird of the United States and majestic in its appearance, it’s not always so majestic in habits. The Bald Eagle can be a powerful predator. After nearly disappearing from most of the U.S. decades ago, the bald eagle is now flourishing across the nation.
There's NO SCHOOL today (1/3) because of icy roads. We'll see you Tuesday (1/4)!
