Today, Truman was named one of 199 schools or organizations in the country to receive a Promising Practice award for our "Rock Your School" event held during the 2023-2024 school year!

"We are extremely proud to recognize the schools and organizations that have developed and implemented a Promising Practice” said Dr. Arthur Schwartz, President of Character.org. “Each of these programs and initiatives have demonstrated significant impact and strongly align with the principles that help schools and organizations cultivate a culture of character.”

Our 8th grade trip was a blast today! We are proud of these kids and excited for their journey to high school!

Congrats to the TMS students who had perfect attendance this year! Our friends at the Sunset Hills Chick-Fil-A gifted them a meal for their hard work this year.

We had our end of year spring assembly this morning where our 8th grade musicians performed for the entire school. What a great way to wrap up the year!

We have a limited number of yearbooks left if your student missed out on orders. See Mrs.Avery in the office with $35 cash tomorrow morning if you are interested in purchasing one.

Happy last week of school! Here are the announcements. Please talk to your student about staying focused and finishing strong!

A utopia is defined as an ideally perfect place. In the novel The Testing, Cia lives in a utopian world designed to provide food, shelter, and safety to the people of the community. 7th graders read the book then were tasked with creating their own utopia. Their utopia should meet the needs of a variety of people, include a government and school system, and be an ideal place to live. They presented their utopian communities to students and staff last week.

We loved celebrating our 8th grade class under the Neon Lights tonight at the 8th grade party! Next week should be full of fun with Field Day and the Celebration, so rest up this weekend.

The Show Choir from Lindbergh Middle Schools did very well this weekend at the Music in the Parks Festival at Six Flags. The group placed FIRST for middle school show choirs in our division,
and Truman 8th grader, Jessie, received an award for best middle school soloist. Congratulations to all performers! If you want to see them live, the end of year Choir concert is tonight at LHS.

We are looking forward to a great week at Truman. Remind your student to come focused and ready to learn as we head into our last 2 weeks of the school year.

8th grade Pre-Algebra students spent the past several days designing, building, and playing carnival games! During the carnival, student recorded the number of wins vs attempts and made a scatter plot of the data. They drew a trend line, determined if the association was positive, negative or none and found the slope and y-intercept to write an equation and make predictions.

TMS students succeed in and out of the classroom! Today, we want to extend a big congratulations to 7th grader Brody. He went to the national gymnastics competition at Arizona State University and rocked it! He took gold on vault in addition to 6th on floor and 6th on high bar. He placed 9th all around and was the only gymnast from the entire state of Missouri to earn a gold medal at nationals. Congrats!
