This month's Transformative Teacher is Mrs. Bower! Mrs. Green-Stevens gave Mrs. Bower the award because of the high standards and expectations she has set for her students in 3D Art. Mrs. Bower works tirelessly each day to help students create art they didn't know they were capable of! ❤️🤍 #tongienation #usd464

On November 27, the THS Drumline led the Welcome Parade for St. Nicholas himself at Topeka's West Ridge Mall! The drumline also stopped at Supersonic Music, where owner and drum-maker Derek Sharp gave members a tour of the “Drumgeon”, where TreeHouse Drums are crafted by hand. THS has a jazz band and pep band drum kit from them, as well as a set of concert toms. 🎅🥁🪘 #YeahBand #tongienation #usd464

Chieftain Friends & Fun Day was another huge success! This is the second year THS has hosted this event. Eight high schools and two 18-21 year old programs attended. Athletes signed up for events based on their skill levels and moved around the gym and common space with peers or THS student volunteers. This special day started last year as senior Aubrey Padfield's FCCLA project and was an integral part of THS working towards becoming a Champion School with Unified PE. Special thank you to Makayla O'Donnell and the Connor Olson Foundation for help with the awesome t-shirts provided to athletes and peers! #tongienation #usd464
