TSS Student Council

UPDATE - ONLY INCOMING GRADE 9 STUDENTS ATTENDING SCHOOL IN PERSON CAN REGISTER FOR THE EVENT.

We're back!!! School starts next week, and for the grade 9's, that can be pretty scary. Luckily, we have an amazing orientation day planned for you on SEPTEMBER 1, 2021 (this Wednesday!!!), from 12:30-2:30PM! With games, tours, AND snacks, this is something you won't want to miss - especially if you are a fan of prizes :) All information is on the graphics below, and the link to register is here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScpIBL0kw18-BlQUK5ppqkwflB9yMGZBvgIbw-bI3zcyB0TRw/viewform

Things to keep in mind:
*you will have to complete your covid-19 screening, wear a mask, and abide by safety guidelines - as a result of the covid guidelines, we will not be able to accommodate for parents and other family members.
*this is an event for incoming grade 9's ONLY.
*THIS IS NOT A DROP-IN EVENT - you must register in advance so we know how many students to expect, and how much supplies to buy, etc.

Share this with friends and families who have students starting TSS this year. We can't wait to see all the new faces there!!!

Happy National Walking the Dog Day!! To commemorate this day, your student council has put together an event sure to make your pets ecstatic. Above, you will find a list of photographs (11 in total). Your job is to find these locations around the city of Thorold throughout the next week. Once you do that, you must take a picture BY YOURSELF in order to be entered into the draw for a $20 Amazon Gift Card. Every selfie taken grants you one entry. If any of your pictures include another person, you will be disqualified and unable to participate in the draw (unless the picture includes someone you live with). Send in all covid-friendly photos through either Instagram or Facebook DMs.

May the odds be ever in your favour.

All will be revealed soon.

Happy Holidays Golden Eagles!!!!! Our Spirit Week has officially come to an end. Comment below who you think showed the most spirit. Did teachers win this spirit week?

Are teachers beating the students once again? Be sure to let us know what you think in the comments, and show your spirit by sending in pictures of your tackiest sweaters!!

Good afternoon Golden Eagles! If you haven't already, be sure to check out the talent show on the D2L landing page (AKA the Eagles Nest). Thank you to all who participated.

Good afternoon Golden Eagles!! The spirit for today was awesome, and we look forward to seeing more throughout the week. Just a heads up that starting tomorrow, different spirit days have been assigned as a way to make it more inclusive for those who don't celebrate Christmas.

Wednesday - Tacky Clothes Day
Thursday - Crazy Sock Day
Friday - Colour Wars (9s - yellow, 10s - green, 11s - blue, 12s red, and teachers - purple!)

Tomorrow is our talent show, so be sure you don't scroll past. In addition, the Christmas card drive is continuing until Thursday. All submissions must be handed in to the basket outside of Mr. Dhami's room (241) by Thursday, December 17th in order to lift the spirits of someone in need.

Today has just begun! Continue sending in pictures of your teams day spirit so that you can be entered in a draw for a $5 Timmies gift card. The spirit so far has been amazing, and we hope you keep up the good work!! Who's been showing more spirit today: teachers or students?

Both staff and students started off the week great, showcasing their favourite pyjamas in the halls of TSS. But the question is, who showed more spirit? Teachers....or Students? Comment below saying who you think won!!

UPDATE: All letters can be submitted outside of Mr. Dhami's room (241) in the Christmas bin outside. An email was sent out last week regarding what can be put in the letters, and an example is listed below.

This year, we have all experienced what it's like to feel alone. We were in quarantine for months, unable to see our families and friends, unless we wanted to waste our phone batteries to spend hours talking to them. But the connection wasn't the same. We still felt alone, maybe because we couldn't hug them or because their presence didn't feel quite the same. While the feelings have started to fade, replaced by the excitement we feel towards the holidays, some of us are still feeling isolated. Over 300 women are in the shelters over Christmas, likely unable to spend time with their families. They are going to feel more alone than ever, and it is up to us to make sure that they don't.

How might you ask?

Well, all it takes is one (or more) handwritten letters, personalized by you. Want to know what to put in it?

- add only your first name
- put in an inspirational quote, a heartwarming message, etc.
- include your favourite song lyric or poem verse
- draw a picture, add stickers or glitter, make it festive
- write on any type of paper you want, or use a store-bought card
- personalize an envelope too!

A box will be set up later in the week for collections, and an update will be provided as to where you can drop them off.

Happy holidays, and don't miss the opportunity to make someone smile this Christmas.
