TMHS Weekly EMail 10/4/2024

What a week! The Homecoming spirit was high! Students participated in spirit week in record numbers and it has been great to see so many people attending events and supporting our students! We hope to see as many of you as possible at the soccer game at 11 am on Saturday. I want to thank our Student Council and Booster Club for going above and beyond to make this week spectacular.

I also want to thank everyone who attended the volleyball game and Homecoming Court last night for your patience and flexibility - we had quite a crew in the parking lot! We are extremely grateful for the Telluride Fire Department for their quick response to our chemical "issues" and they were able to safely allow us to continue with the events of the evening. We know the adjustment in schedule today provided some excitement and change; thank you for your support in those shifts.

Lastly, I want to reiterate, the fire lane in the school parking lot is exactly that; a fire lane for emergency vehicles. Please do not park in that lane; we need that clear at all times.

Should you have any questions or concerns about any of the events over the past week please do not hesitate to reach out.

-Sara Kimble, TMHS Principal

Please note that we will be sending out information for scheduling conferences by October 16th. Conferences are scheduled for Monday, October 21st.

Kelly Youngstrom is our attendance clerk again this year. Please send all attendance communication directly to her for the timeliest action.

Sarah Holbrooke, Pinhead Institute's Executive Directory, will be hosting a math documentary called "Counted Out" at the Sheridan Opera House on Friday, October 4 at 4pm. "Counted Out" depicts how math and our daily lives are intertwined, but more importantly, it "investigates the biggest crises of our time--political polarization, racial and economic inequity, a global pandemic, and climate change--through an unexpected lens: math." Individual tickets are $35 through www.originalthinkers.com, but come as a Pinhead guest for free! Seating is first-come, first-serve. Please mention "Pinhead" at the door.

**Please be aware of when your student’s sports physical expires. The Telluride Medical Center does not make appointments for a Sports Physical. They will only schedule appointments for an Annual Well-Child Check. This type of appointment takes longer to schedule and your student’s sports physical may expired before your medical appointment. To avoid the loss of participation in your student’s sport, please make your appointment at the Med Center well in advance to ensure your appointment does not exceed the expiration of the Sport Physical. If you need to schedule a Sports Physical and The Med Center cannot accommodate you, please check with surround clinics in Norwood, Ridgway, Montrose and Cortez. Students cannot participate with an expired Sports Physical.

Please follow TMHS Athletics on Instagram and Facebook.

Lastly, we’d like to thank a few people who have made Winter PE possible at the Telluride School District.

9/12 Adventure day was Wednesday and it was a smashing success filled with jeeping, arts and crafts, meaningful student lead conversations, and the most spectacular time hanging at the park we could have asked for! We would like to extend a huge Thank you to all staff members that went, TEF, Telluride Outside, Telluride Parks and Rec, TMVOA, and Kimmy Spaulding for making this day so wonderful.

If you do not have art this quarter and you would like to submit a piece of art for Art to Remember, please go see Mr. Matt for a piece of paper. He will need the completed art by the end of September and then your parents, grandparents, etc will be able to order any items they wish.
