TGMS is celebrating Kindness Month this February! Students are participating in kindness-focused activities with Mrs. Saksa, our guidance counselor. The library is joining in with a special project: a Kindness Chain! Each student created a link for the chain by writing an example of how they can show kindness to others. The completed chain spells out "Love" on the bulletin board and winds its way through the library, visually representing how we are all connected through kindness and love.

We also want to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who showed their love and support for the library at our December LaFogata fundraiser. Thanks to your generosity, we raised over $1200! This incredible amount will enable us to replace many of our well-loved books, expand our collection with new titles, and make some exciting improvements to the library space.

Our teachers are doing outstanding and innovative things every day to engage our students.

Here is a chance to nominate a Toll Gate Middle School teacher as a Teacher of the Month. Please click the link below:
