TGMS Weekly Updates

Due to Professional Development our students will not have class Tuesday, November 5. Classes resume Wednesday, November 6.

Counselor Corner:

Happy November! This month's focus is on coping strategies we can use when we work. Check out my November Counselor Corner to see what we are doing at TGMS!

Veterans Day is rapidly approaching. Toll Gate Middle School would like to take the opportunity to recognize and honor those who have served or are currently serving our country in the armed services. We are asking that you fill out the form below and have your son/daughter return it to school by Friday, November 1. If you have a friend or a family member who is currently serving or who has served our country, please write his/her name, the war they fought in (if applicable), the military branch served under, and the name of your Toll Gate student. A star will be made to honor all names returned to us by November 1 . The stars will then be placed on the windows of the Media Center November 11. Thank you for your support of this project.

Take a look - our Tech classes have been busy!

Dear Families,

Pickerington Schools are once again teaming up with the Violet Township Fire Department to help provide some holiday assistance for families in need during this holiday season.

In need of assistance?

Request an online form for holiday assistance by contacting me at Kelli_Saksa@plsd.us or at (614) 834-6400 The request link will then be provided to you, only one per household please. This form is handled in a confidential manner with more details from your school counselor. Please remember that we will only be able to supplement your holiday. The online form must be completed by Friday, November 22nd.

Would you like to help others in need?

There are several ways to donate this year:

● The traditional big red boxes throughout the community and in the schools accepting donations of new toys/gifts.

● Gift cards are also appreciated.

● Cash donations through Paypal.

● Another way of donating this year is through Amazon and Target. If you would prefer to donate in this way, click on the links below. Be sure to ship to Violet Township Fire Department Toy Drive (address will appear as an option).

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