TSPA and HEAD OF SCHOOL COFFEE & CONVERSATION FOR TOWER PARENTS Our TSPA will join Tim Delehaunty for a discussion about parents being known and needed in the Tower community, we'll hear from a few parents about their volunteer experiences, and highlight some needs for volunteers this spring and next year. There will be time for questions about other topics as well. DRAMA NEWS The student-made sets for Mary Poppins are coming together beautifully, however, there are a few critical items that we're hoping to borrow or receive as a donation to the drama program. If you would like to contribute any of the following, please send a quick photo of the item to Sig Orne to be sure it meets the needs of the show.
