Dear TOCS Families, I do hope that you all enjoyed your extra-long weekend, and we are happy to have students back for a week of learning. Please remember to read through the 2025-26 registration information sent home last week, and let us know if you have any questions before registration opens on Monday, February 24, to current T.O.C.S. families. I would like to remind you of tomorrow’s spelling bee at 1:30 in the main sanctuary. Please feel free to join us by entering through the doors from 1:00-1:30 to support our spellers.

We have heard from several students for our annual T.O.C.S. Entrepreneur Event on Friday, February 28, from 3:30-5:00. We need students to continue crafting and building items to sell. If you haven’t already, please call the school office between now—February 26— to let them know you will be participating, so we can have an accurate amount of tables ready.

Attached to the “Nutshell” today, you will find dress-up days for Dr. Seuss/ Read Across America Week. The dress-up days are scheduled for March 3-7, but we wanted families to have time to work on “outfits”, if needed. Please know that each of your families is prayed for daily and that we are here to support you and yours spiritually and academically.

Please call the office if you have a prayer request that you would like added to the “School Family Prayer Concerns” section of the News in a Nutshell. I know that I speak on behalf of the TOCS faculty, staff, and other families when I say that we appreciate your prayers as well. In His Precious and Holy Name,

Amy Pfaff-Biebel T.O.C.S. Administrator
