TMS Walk-a-thon Support Needed!

Click on the headline title for important information...With only one day remaining, we only have 20% of our students participating. 100% of our students will benefit from the funds raised from this event both this year and in the coming year. Without the financial support of generous donors, we may not be able to offer student recognition, special assemblies, field trips, and many other student-centered activities without funds raised through the Walk-a-thon. This is our main fundraiser and we rely on it for so much for our students. Please consider donating to TMS Students before its too late!

If your child is enrolled at TMS as a transfer from another school or district, this is a reminder that the transfer needs to be renewed each year. Please make sure that your form for the 2019 - 20 school year is on file with Lisa Alonzo (360-709-7039) at the Tumwater District Office, before the end of the school year. This will ensure that your child will be considered for enrollment at TMS next year. Forms are available at our school office or at the District Office. Forms are being accepted now and until the last day of school.
