This special week honors school counselors for the important role they play in helping students examine their talents, strengths, abilities, and interests.
Please join us in thanking our school counselors for everything they do!

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.
WE'RE HIRING!!!

The American Red Cross is in urgent need of blood donations.
The non-profit organization says they’re heading into Christmas with its lowest blood supply in more than a decade at this time of the year. That’s because of low blood donor turnout in recent months.
Here’s the thing, you can help out.
Usually there’s a blood drive always happening in your area. On Friday, December 10th, Tecumseh High School will be hosting one.
The blood drive begins at 9am and will run until 2pm. The blood drive is open to students 17 and older as well as the public. Students who are age 16 may also donate but will need parent/guardian permission. Those forms can be found at the main office of THS. We also ask that you schedule an appointment ahead of time.
Just remember, a pint of blood can save three lives!
🏫: Tecumseh High School
📍: 760 Brown Street, Tecumseh, MI 49286

Happy Thanksgiving from Tecumseh Public Schools!
Enjoy the long holiday weekend. We'll see you Monday!
The Board of Education will not be holding its regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, November 22th.
The meeting has been moved to Monday, November 29th at 7pm. It is held in the Media Center of Tecumseh High School.
With Thanksgiving next week, several members of the board would not have been present for the meeting.

ROTC students from Tecumseh High School took part in the Veterans Day ceremony at Brookside Cemetery on Thursday (11/11).
Numerous veterans were there to take in the ceremony and honor those who couldn’t make it.
We thank you for your service.
Members from the American Legion Underwood Orr Post 34, Rep. Bronna Kahle, Lenawee County Sheriff Troy Bevier and Tecumseh Mayor Jack Baker we’re on-hand for the ceremony.
Today, we honor all of the Veterans who graciously served our country.
We also want to recognize the Veterans who work for us here at Tecumseh Public Schools. Thank you for your service.
Veterans Day honors the men and women from all branches of the military who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Originally called Armistice Day, November 11th marks the end of World War I, which occurred on November 11, 1918 at 11:00 a.m. In 1954, the holiday was renamed Veterans Day to pay tribute to the veterans of all wars.
It is celebrated every November 11th, and has been a Federal holiday since 1926.
Happy Halloween from Herrick Park Intermediate Learning Center!
