Dear TOCS Families,
I thank our Lord for everyone settling back into school routines, and we appreciate you partnering with us in teaching expectations of respect to authority, loving and kind behavior, a great work ethic that honors God, and praying for a wonderful year of sharing the Gospel.

The T. O.C.S. Twirl Team will be postponing the first practice until Tuesday, September 5th. K-5 students practice 5:15-6:00, and grades 6-12 practice is 6:00- 7:00.

The T.O.C.S. Trap Team will be hosting an informational meeting for parents and students who are interested and are ages 10+ on Tuesday, September 5 at 3:30 in the choir/music room. The minimum requirements, equipment needs, and costs will be discussed that night.

Booster basketball players and the school office will be selling Pizza Inn fundraiser tickets for the evening of September 11. All proceeds will go to support all of the booster teams, so please mark this date on your calendar, purchase some tickets, and join us in support for some delicious pizza and salad.

The 8th graders will be selling ice cream and sweet treats every Thursday this school year, and the money will be used to pay for the cost of their 8th grade end of the year trip. The P.T.F. will also be selling popcorn on the last Friday of each month. All items are $1, and both go to support needs within the school ministry.

The School store fundraiser will run all year long, and the money raised from this goes directly to your child’s homeroom teacher for classroom supplies. We will also continue our Domino’s Slice the Price pizza fundraiser that can be handled online, or in-person, from now – Sep-tember 5th (money and forms are due immediately as we return from Labor Day break). Money from this fundraiser goes into the P.T.F. fund for needs that arise throughout the school year. Thank you for your participation!

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