“I can, I will, I must! Don’t settle. Be Great! Do your little bit of good and those little bits of good will change the world.” That was the message delivered by motivational guest speaker TJ Tyas before Thornapple Kellogg High School students and staff headed out for their annual service day.
Behavioral change coach and motivational speaker TJ Tyus encouraged Thornapple Kellogg High School students to never give up on themselves and what they can do. It was an inspiring message to kick off the annual service day Friday.
Two teams were named champions in the month-long Survivor-style battle of the books at Page Elementary. The Hammer Heads, a fourth-grade team, and the Potatoes, a fifth-grade team took the championship titles for their grade levels this week at the final battle.
Excitement is growing in Mrs. Boersma’s and Mr. Hanna’s third-grade classrooms. Students have watched their 150 Chinook salmon eggs morph into 3-5-inch fish in the parr stage. In a few weeks, the classes will take their maturing salmon and release them into Buck Creek at Lemery Park in Wyoming.
Interviewing for a job can be a stressful experience for anyone and especially for students who haven’t had much, if any, experience. With the help of a host of volunteers from local companies and agencies, Thornapple Kellogg High School seniors got a valuable opportunity to practice their skills and prepare for their future.
