Dear TOCS Families,

Making a Splash was definitely a wonderful Christ-honoring program last week, and I am very thankful for Mrs. Kimberly McGee, Dr. Debra Lewis, supportive teachers, students, and parents. We also had an amazing 1st commencement ceremony on Sunday, and I ask that you will join me in prayer for these 7 graduates to make a huge impact for His kingdom and to bless them as they begin this next exciting chapter of their lives.

I would like to thank Coach Lisa Ballast and the Powerful Runners who hosted a very successful fundraiser last night for the T.O.C.S. Cross Country Team. They raised $1,204.07! Mr. David Scott, with the help of Mr. Sam Helfrich, will be coaching MS/HS Cross Country for T.O.C.S. this fall, so they will be hosting an informational parent/athlete meeting this Friday, May 12 at 5:30 in the choir room. Food will be providedplease be sure to attend.

We will be partnering with the Hope Center – May 15 to collect change to fill baby bottles through the “ A little change makes a BIG difference” fundraiser. Please dig through your car or go through your couch cushions to send a little that will go a long way to support God’s creation within our community.

Baby bottles will be placed in each classroom for students to drop change in.

Thanks to your faithfulness and to generous contributors the grand total for Read-a-thon was over 35,000 minutes read and $10,443.00 raised towards our playground resurfacing project! We look forward to celebrating with the students who helped raise these funds on Thursday afternoon, and I would like to give Dairy Queen a BIG thank you for donating the ice cream treats!

In Christ,
Amy Pfaff-Biebel T.O.C.S. Administrator
