Students

ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

Calling all students, student groups and staff!

In honor of Pattie Hamlin, Nokomis High School, has nominated Taylorville High School to participate in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. If we can all raise $500 or more, Mr. Hutchison has agreed to represent Taylorville High School in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and be drenched with ice water from the biggest bucket we can find at THS! We have until Thursday May 9th to raise $500 or more. All donations will go towards research to help find a cure for ALS and also to help pay for assistive devices and technology that people with ALS use daily. Checks may be made payable to the STL ALS Association or cash in an envelope marked ALS Ice Bucket Challenge may both be dropped off at the THS main office. Let’s raise some money to fight this terrible disease and cool Mr. Hutchison off! Please contact Katie Glenn if you have any questions or would like to make a donation to fight ALS. We can make arrangements to pick up donations from other schools and locations. Mr. Hutchison will take one for the team on Friday May 10 th (time and location to be determined).

Thank you in advance for your support!

Energy Saving Tip

Your community challenge tip for the day is to wash your laundry in cold water. Almost all of the energy consumed by your washing machine is used simply to heat the water, so switch to cold water, which uses less energy and still gets your clothes clean (unless you’re dealing with oily stains).

Student Council

Anyone who would like to be a part of student council for the 19-20 school year please pick up a packet in the main office.

Prom

Prom Tickets will be on sale starting Monday April 29 and end on Thursday May 2.

Tickets will be sold before school in the main foyer and during lunches.
