Canned Food Drive and Winter Break

The Tioga Middle School Student Council is sponsoring a canned food drive. Please bring non-perishable food items to school until December 18. The food will be donated to a local food bank to help those in need. The class that brings the most will receive a prize.

There will be an early release day on Friday, December 18 at 1:00. There will be no school from December 21 to January 1. We will return to school on January 4. Enjoy your Winter Break!

The Snack Shack

Every Friday we have a refreshment cart selling goodies to students after school. The proceeds from the "Snack Shack" are divided between three different organizations: the student council, the cheerleaders, and the band.

This fund raiser will help our students raise money for many activities throughout the year.

Red Ribbon Week

Red Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country. It began in honor of Drug Enforcement Officer Enrique Camarena, who was murdered while working undercover. Many people from California who knew Officer Camarena pledged to lead drug-free lives to honor the sacrifices made by Camarena and others on behalf of all Americans. They began to wear red badges of satin, red ribbons, as a symbol Camarena's memory. Today, Red Ribbon Week is nationally recognized and celebrated, helping to preserve Special Agent Camarena's memory and further the cause for which he gave his life.

For Red Ribbon Week, to show that we will stay drug-free, the student council sponsored dress-up days and a dance. The dress-up days were:
Monday - “Shine Like The Stars and Don’t Do Drugs” – Dress like a celebrity.
Tuesday - “Too Cool for Drugs” – Wear red clothes, hat and sunglasses.
Wednesday -“Friends Don’t Let Friends Do Drugs” – Dress like your friend.
Thursday - “Set Your Goals High and Don’t Do Drugs” – Dress like what you want to be when you grow up.
Friday - “Say Boo to Drugs” – Wear a Halloween Costume

The theme for the dance was the Hollywood Fall Ball! We had a lot of fun!
