Truth or Consequences Tigersharks
The truth or consequences Tigersharks is the local swim team where children of all ages (from 3 or 4 to 18) come to learn how to swim and compete all throughout the summer. It is a great summer activity for your child to engage in. They learn many things on the swim team. How to swim, how to be an encouraging person who helps the others on their team. They learn assorted styles of swimming and different things to help improve their swimming. Your child could also learn how to perform CPR and save someone's life in or out of water if they take the lifeguard course.
All these activities are lead, taught, and coached by TorC’s very own Destiny Mitchell. She has been coaching the team since 2001, taking up the banner after previous coaches, parents, and other officials. If I were a parent, I would sign my child up to join the swim team for many great reasons. As has been said before, they learn how to swim. They also become great cheerleaders for their teammates. It is also a terrific way to get them physically active during the summer and give them something productive to do during the summer. So, parents, think about signing your child up for the Truth or Consequences Tigersharks swim team this summer.

We are going to miss your cheery attitude and positive vibes. It always makes us happy seeing your smiling face.
We appreciate your 21 years of service here in our schools. We always loved your lasagna, that you enjoyed making. Also, even though you didn't like making homemade meatballs, we all loved them. I'm sure all the students, teachers, and your coworkers will miss you, just as much as you will miss them! While you are away from school, we hope you are having fun spending time with your first grandbaby. We hope you will have many adventures, and fun times ahead of you.
Thank you for your many years of loving service to our schools, we all really appreciate it. You and the entire lunch staff worked hard this year and all the ones before. It's sad to see you go but we hope you enjoy your well-earned retirement. We appreciate all your hard work and dedication to the job. On behalf of Hot Springs High School, we thank you for keeping our students' feed!
Lastly Rolanda would like to shout out Daniel who was her favorite coworker for 18 years! She leaves us with this advice “Eat School Lunch, we do are best.”
