 TALAWANDA HIGH SCHOOL E- News- October 29, 2021



Dear Parents,

Our students will be participating in a Student Drug Use survey from PreventionFirst! PreventionFirst! is assisting Butler County to determine prevention programs that are relevant to the students. The survey is totally anonymous and the data from the survey is reviewed in total or in aggregate.  Individual responses are not available or examined. If you do not want your child to take the survey, please see the attached letter to opt out. The survey will be done during the Tutorial period on November 18. 

 

Thank you,

 

Tom York

Talawanda High School Principal

Dear Parents & Guardians, 

As we continue our drug prevention efforts in the Talawanda School District, we ask for your support as we administer the PreventionFIRST! student drug use survey. This is an anonymous student survey about alcohol use, drug use, and other health behaviors.  The survey information will help guide the District and the community in its evaluation of current programming, as well as the investigation of other prevention and intervention strategies that can support our students and encourage them to lead healthy, substance free lives.

The PreventionFIRST! Student drug use survey is a thoroughly researched group of questions that can give us valuable insight into many positive and negative student behaviors. The survey is an anonymous survey and students are not required to participate.  It is voluntary on the part of each student.

If you prefer that your child not participate, please inform our office by filling out the form below before Tuesday, November 16th.   The survey will be administered on Thursday, November 18th  during the school day.  If we do not receive a form from you, we will assume that your student can participate.

 A copy of the survey is available in the main office if you would like to review its content.  A summary of the information gathered will be shared with parents when results are obtained.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Amy Macechko, Health and Wellness Coordinator, at 273-3390.  Thank you for supporting our efforts to help students make healthy and safe decisions around substance use.

I do not want my child to participate in the Student Drug Use Survey at THS on Thursday, November 18th.

  • The students of the Talawanda High School Choral Program will be presenting their first public concert since March 2020 on Tuesday, November 16th, 2021.

Our five vocal ensembles are ready to perform many genres for the Talawanda community, including standard choral, gospel, pop, opera, Broadway, swing, blues, spiritual, and Indian classical.

The tunes will start at 7:00 pm in the THS Performing Arts Center.

As always, our concerts are free and open to the public.  Please join us as we happily return to in-person concerts, and save the date of March 1st, 2022 to make sure you are ready to attend our next performance as well!

 

  • The Fall Play, The Internet is Distract-OH Look a Kitten!  will be November 12 at 7 pm, and November 13 at 2pm and 7 pm in the Talawanda High School 

           Performing Arts Center. 

 

  • Best Buddies and Key Club are partnering to collect new boxes of cereal for the Oxford Food Pantry now through December 9.  Cereal boxes can be turned in to Room 316 or the main office.  Our goal is to collect enough boxes to create a giant hallway dominoes display!  Thanks for your support!

 

  • Mock Trial has changed their Wednesday meetings to a virtual meeting instead of face-to-face in Room 417.





  • The first quarter honor roll certificates that were just handed out to students had the school year 2020-21 on them instead of this school year of 2021-22.  New certificates will be printed up and handed out to students next week.  We sincerely apologize for this oversight and any confusion it may have caused.



  • Our high school play, The Internet is Distract-OH Look a Kitten!  will be performing next weekend, November 12 at 7 and November 13 at 2 and at 7. Tickets are $6.50 but must be purchased online so there is a processing fee that makes it around $8.  Tickets can be purchased in advance, or at the door, but no cash can be accepted, so the online process is the same.  On the poster, there is a QR code to quick link to the site.

 

The show is family friendly and follows a high school teen trying to finish her Great Gatsby paper before school, only to get dragged down into the rabbit hole that is the internet along the way.   

 

As you know, the pandemic strained a lot of students and student activities.  The drama program was left with barely any resources, so this show will be the first opportunity to boost their funding and allow any future productions.  We would love to have you all attend and if you'd be willing to advertise for us, I've included our poster.   These can be shared virtually, but I can also drop off copies tomorrow or Monday to anyone who would be open to posting physically.

 

Here is the QR code to purchase tickets for the show. 

 

Thank you,

 

Melanie Mortimore

Drama Director
