School Is Out For The Summer!
By Samantha DePriest
Well, we did it!! Our Lions successfully completed another amazing year of school. Whether it was your family’s first year at TCS or you’ve been here for a while, we are thankful you chose to be a part of our family. We hope each of the end of the year celebrations were meaningful and created last memories for your Lions and for your entire family.
Some of our students overcame adversity this year and as they say “conquered their Everest”. Some of our students learned to play new instruments or try a new sport. Our students made new friends, tried new foods, and learned new ways of solving problems. They took trips to explore new places and read books that took them to far off lands and spaces in time. One thing is for sure, all of our students learned more about God’s love and more about His plan for each of their lives.
This last month of May (some parents lovingly refer to as “May-hem”) has been full of parties, performances, and parades! From the littlest to the biggest, our Lions were celebrated in so many ways. Our preschool students enjoyed glow parties and ring pops. Our Kindergarten kiddos had a movie day and pajama party after marching to the stadium for their graduation complete with a Falcon RV Squadron flyover. Our fabulous 1st graders enjoyed fun on scooters and popsicles while our super 2nd graders jumped the time away on inflatables and TCBY treats. Our terrific 3rd graders splashed away in a water day bash with Coweta firetrucks, water slides, and Kona Ice. Our fantastic 4th graders celebrated with an awesome field day experience, inflatables, and snow cones. Our fun 5th graders also enjoyed a field day, completed their 5th grade walk with hundreds of parents, grandparents, and special friends in attendance before an epic parents vs. students kick ball game and pizza party. Our 6th and 7th graders celebrated off campus with parties at the Skating Rink and Bowling Alley. Our 8th graders danced the night away at their Country Western theme 8th grade dance. Our high school students participated in daily events led by Student Council and were invited to Honors awards nights. And finally our senior class enjoyed a time of all things Senior’s from parties to parades and finally graduation. What an incredible time it was to be a Lion!
The last snacks have been packed, no more projects to work on or tests to study for, and we can stay up as late as we want because there is no morning carline for the next 70 days.
We couldn’t be more proud of the hard work each of our students put in this school year. Whether your family is traveling or having a staycation, working or serving, resting or playing, we pray your time together is sweet and fills your hearts with joy. And we are eagerly counting the days until you are all back on campus this August!!
