Principal’s Message
With the arrival of a new year, comes
the conclusion of term 2 and for our Sr.
students, semester 1. At such a turn,
one cannot help but to stop and take
stalk of the school year thus far. Upon
such reflection, I cannot begin to
express the incredible amount of pride
I have about our school. The culture of
our building continues to be positive
and upbeat, which is resulting in an
increase commitment and devotion to
attendance, academics and athletics.
Thank-you to all staff, parents and
especially students of TMSS for your
continued devotion towards “Striving
for Excellence” and welcome to 2016!!

think more deeply, and to see the other side of issues.

middle year’s drama production as one of the
goddesses. We are looking forward to a great
performance from Grace in drama, and a great rest of
her academic year in grade six! Congratulations Grace!
The grade 7 shout out goes to Ashley Kidney. Ashley
has a positive attitude, and is enthusiastic in her
