Thank you TPMS community for showing up on April 22nd, 2023 for our first ever Earth Day Thrift Market & Crafts Faire!  In spite of the rain, it proved to be an excellent way to bring the community together, give donated items a new life, meet local vendors and school groups, and raise funds for our school.  In total we raised $3500 which will go towards the end of the year events such as next week’s Teach Appreciation Week and the 8th Grade Graduation Dance. There are many people to thank, but I’d like to call out a few here…
