Dear TOCS Families,
The Lord certainly continues to provide beautiful fall mornings and evenings (including the amazing fall harvest moon), and as it cools off, please keep reminding your student to wear solid colored hoodies/ sweaters or TOCS Warrior wear apparel only to comply with dress code expectations.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our annual Walk-A-Thon fundraiser. To date we have raised $6,780; there are a few more pledges to come in before we will have a final total for the fundraiser.

The T.O.C.S. Trap team will be having an informational meeting to discuss the minimum program requirements, equipment needs, and costs tomorrow, October 4 at 3:30 in the library for any interested students ages 10-18 and their parent(s). Please make every effort to attend if you plan on being part of this team.

The T.O.C.S. booster ball teams will be hosting a fundraiser on the last day of fall break, Monday, October 16 at Pizza Inn from 4-8. If you are interested in purchasing tickets, please be sure to call the school office or speak with a basketball player.

Two years ago, we were blessed with Sara Claibourne joining us as a theater coach of the T.O.C.S. Showcasers. She will be starting practices with our 1st-5th grades beginning October 17 and grades 6th-12th on October 19 for the remainder of the school year, and I have attached details for those who are interested in joining this fun and creative group. Please turn in paperwork by Friday, October 20.

With constantly rising food costs, we will unfortunately need to raise the cost of hot lunch on Thursday only for the Chick-fil-a bagged lunch; please note the upcoming change in this Chick-fil-a lunch order form.

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.

For His glory,
Amy Pfaff-Biebel T.O.C.S. Administrator
