SUBJECT: IMPORTANT 8th Grade Information

Attention Eighth Grade Parents!


Celebrate your soon-to-be TEMS GRADUATE with a yard sign!

Purchase a yard sign to celebrate your eighth grader’s accomplishments and display it in your yard to support our grads!

Signs are $15 each, and all proceeds will go toward making the eighth-grade recognition ceremony a great experience for our graduates!

Click here to place your order!

The deadline for ordering is May 10th, and signs will be available to pick up the week of May 20. We will contact you with details. 

*Financial assistance is available. Contact guidance counselor Mrs Gordon.. All inquiries will be kept confidential.

Photo Memory Wall!

As we approach the 8th Grade Recognition Ceremony, your help is needed to create a Photo Memory Wall for the kids in the school cafeteria.

The goal is to collect two pictures from all current 8th graders.  If you choose to participate, here is what is needed:

  • Please send in 1 baby picture and 1 current picture of your student by FRIDAY, May 24, 2024.  
  • Please submit a hard copy of each photo – 3”x5" in size. 

Note: Pictures may need to be cropped to fit the display.

Please write your student’s full name on the back of each picture.

All pictures are to be submitted to the school office in an envelope marked Attn: 8th Grade Memory Wall 

*If you would like your pictures back at the end of the school year, please remove them from the bulletin board in the cafeteria on the last day of school or you may come in the week of June 17th.

Please reach out to Amanda Wollick at awollick@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns regarding the yard sign or photo collection.
