TMS Gives Back During Community Blocks

Students at learned the importance of community service Monday morning during the school's second community block, a school-wide program dedicted to giving back.

TMS Principal Walter Willett explained that each homeroom came up with and completed a community-focused project. The program, which is new this year, encourages the students to engage and help outside of school.

"The objective is to give the kids an opportunity to connect with the community and instill in them the sense to serve in the community," Willett said.

The community blocks are a part of the school's Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports program, he added. The students will hold one more community block before the end of the year.

The projects ranged from creating care boxes for soliders overseas to sewing together cat beds for animal shelters. Check out the photo gallery above to see the students hard at work.
