Thomas Street Garden Party
|
|
Please join us on Saturday, May 12, 2012 for a Thomas Street Garden Party. As one of our ECO school goals this year we are extending our memorial garden. We are hoping to come together as a community of staff, students, and parents to take on this project. We will begin construction at 9 a.m. and will need as many hands as we can get. If you would like to come please have your son or daughter sign up with Mrs. Smith. Please also let us know if you have a wheel barrel, shovel(s) or watering cans we can borrow for the day. Thomas Street Middle School would like to thank PETRIE TOPSOIL and The Mississauga Golf and Country Club for the generous donations of topsoil and perennial plants.
When visiting a local greenhouse, you can help earn supplies for the school’s greening initiative. At TERRA, give the cashier the school’s point card number (463884) which will help students and volunteers buy flowers and tools to beautify the school grounds.

TSMS Rock Climbing Camp
|
|
Our rock climbing unit in physical education class has always been very popular among students. We have decided to provide students with the opportunity to extend their class experience over the summer by introducing the TSMS Rock Climbing Camp for current Thomas Street students in grades 6 to 8.
The camp takes place from July 30 to August 3 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Students will climb 2.5 hours a day, as well as participate in other recreational activities, including soccer, basketball, volleyball, football and cricket. The cost of the camp is $155 for the week, which includes all equipment. Lunch is not included in the cost. We’ve worked hard to keep the cost affordable for families. Once all expenses have been paid, any money raised from the camp will go toward supporting the athletic program at our school.
The climbing structure and instructors will be from Junglesport Inc. They have been working with Thomas Street for the last 9 years and have worked with many schools in our board. Other camp activities will be lead by a Thomas Street teacher and former Thomas Street students who are now in university and high school.
If you have any questions feel free to contact the school at 905-812-3725. Space in the camp will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Our expectation is that the camp will fill to capacity very quickly.
