TSC Matters
TSC students first to experience BizTown
Sixth-grade students from East Tipp Middle School are among the first to experience the new Junior Achievement BizTown. The program is located in the new YMCA and includes an interactive, simulated town where students take on roles as citizens, workers and consumers.
The Greater Lafayette Holocaust Remembrance Committee is pleased to announce it will be awarding up to $2,000 to support Holocaust education-related projects.
Make sure you are getting some extra steps in during the holiday season. Encourage each other by using #TSCINtegrate.

Mindfulness Matters
Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us.
School Resource Officers (SROs) promote a safe learning environment through educating and building relationships with students and staff members.

INSPIRATION MATTERS
With Kathy Nimmer
For the last few holiday seasons, I have listened time and time again to the recording of the young autistic girl, Kaylee Rodgers, sing with the other special needs students from her school in Northern Ireland. Her beautiful voice is even sweeter to the ear when we consider the obstacles this little girl has overcome in order to discover and share her gifts. This article talks more about Kaylee's story. In the hectic weeks of December, I hope we all can remember that we are at our best when we are using our gifts to better the lives of others, just as one child did and is still doing today.
