If you're interested in supporting the 'Victory for Vann' campaign, we have bracelets available for purchase at Tecumseh Middle School for $3.
If you do not have a student who attends TMS but still want to purchase a bracelet, please call 517-423-1105. The fine folks in the office will get you squared away.
Thank you for supporting the Burpee family. You got this, Vann!
TPS family and community, we are asking for your support.
Recently, Tecumseh Middle School 6th grader Vann Burpee was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. He has gone through biopsy surgery to figure out what the next course of action is. Unfortunately, the tumor cannot be surgically removed.
As Vann and his family go through this next phase, we hope you will support the 'Victory for Vann' campaign.
Starting now and for the next several weeks, we are selling shirts with 100% of proceeds going to Vann and his family.
Please consider supporting the Burpee family during this challenging time.
Thank you!

A small act of love, such as donating a pair of socks, can make a big difference in the lives of our homeless or needy neighbors.
Right now, students and staff at Tecumseh Middle School and Tecumseh High School (high school drive put on by Sources of Strength) are collecting new socks for Socktober!
Small gifts matter, and as the weather turns cooler, even one donation of new socks can make a world of difference for someone in need.
If you want to donate, you can send the socks to school with your student or drop them off at TMS or THS.

Today was a great learning experience for some of our Tecumseh High School students.
10th-grade students from Ms. Arnold's AP World and World History classes traveled to Dearborn to visit the Arab American National Museum. This field trip was a cultural extension activity related to the World History curriculum.
After the museum visit, everyone headed to Shatila Bakery for some authentic Mediterranean pastries.
Right now, enrollment continues for preschool here at Tecumseh Public Schools. We still have several open spots.
If you or someone you know is looking for a preschool for their three- or four-year-old, don't hesitate to contact the director, Shawn Behnke, at sbehnke@tps.k12.mi.us or call 517-424-9957 for information.
We have both tuition-based programs and Great Start Readiness Programs. You can also inquire directly about GSRP for four-year-olds at lenaweefreepreschools.org to see if you qualify for a GSRP placement.
