TASD GROUNDS & FACILITIES CREW HAS BEEN BUSY THIS SUMMER!

THS JAG SPECIALIST IS NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED

The summer break months are the busiest for our grounds and facilities crew as they make improvements and repairs to our facilities. A few projects conducted this year include: epoxy floors in Lemonweir Elementary; new black top, fence, and flagpole relocation at LaGrange Elementary; concrete repair and replacement in TMS front entry; the completion of converting all lights to LED district-wide; and the addition of a “State Appearances” and “State Champions” display in the THS gymnasium entryways.

Thank you to our own directors and crew members, our Board of Education, and the talented contractors for taking such great care of our spaces! Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) is a is a school-to-career program we are happy to offer at THS. Mrs. Julianna Scott is our JAG Career Specialist who keeps our students focused on graduation. She connects students with work-based learning experiences to prepare them for their future careers and post-secondary institutions. This summer, Mrs. Scott was awarded the award as Wisconsin’s Outstanding Specialist! She commented, “I hope this will promote even better opportunities for our students and programs in Tomah. I am PUMPED for what ‘22-’23 has to offer us.”

Watch for more information about JAG in our Back-To-School HOWL in early September!
