BOOK FAIR - WEEK OF OCTOBER 28TH!
Coat Drive - sponsored by PAC
We are currently running our Coats for Kids drive. There is a bin in the front lobby at school. Drop off your old but good conditioned jackets there and we will do the rest. Coats for Kids & Families accepts warm winter coats that are new or gently used, good quality, and all sizes (especially XL and infant/pre-K sizes). The drive does not accept coats with rips, tears, broken zippers, or permanent stains, nor does the drive accept sweatshirts, vests and spring coats, boots, scarves or gloves.
Expectations at TMHS events at Doucette Field
As with any TMHS sponsored event, whether in Tewksbury or on the road, the school code of conduct as outlined in Student Handbooks applies to all students. In addition:
- Students who are not in high school (grades 9-12) are required to be accompanied by an adult.
- Adults who are accompanying children are required to supervise them before, during and after the game.
- The playground area next to the Center School will be closed during games.
- Outside food and/or beverages may not be brought into the stadium.
- Smoking, vaping and/or consumption of alcohol is not allowed anywhere on school property.
- Upon entry, all bags are subject to be searched.
- There will be no re-entry into the stadium upon leaving the event.
- For the rest of the season and playoffs, all fans must pay an entrance fee, even those students wearing Tewksbury Youth Football jerseys. The only exceptions are senior citizens.
We appreciate your cooperation and attention to these matters and are enthusiastically looking forward to an enjoyable season of athletic events for all.

Food Service - aka the Lunch Ladies...
We know how this sounds, but...
Breakfast and Lunches are free.
Students who want milk only need to pay $.60 per day. Parents can add $$ to Paypam account, or send it into school, where Mrs. Naughton and her team will put it on your child's account.
Click on the milk carton to see lunch menus and more from Food Services.
