Final Day:
You can make a difference in a teacher’s life in minutes - FREE!
During the busy holiday season, it seems so many worthy causes clamor for our attention.
This one rewards all nominees, and can make a Wish (List) come true.
And it doesn’t cost a cent.
How about making November extra-thankful for your favorite educator?

I was asked to post this to remind taxpayers of the difference between bonds and levies. The recently-passed bond can only be used for one thing: build a new high school. Legally, every cent has to be expended in support of the building of the new high school. No repairs to the old building, no additional supplies, no additional staff or equipment. Levies are for things that the state doesn't provide: athletics, smaller class size, elementary music, additional staff, maintenance and repairs, grounds keeping and more.
…
Lots of work going on behind the scenes to build the new Toledo High School. We've started a blog to keep you updated on what's going on. You'll find more detailed information in the blog while announcements of meetings and highlights will continue to be shared here on Facebook and on our website. https://chris-rust.blogspot.com/

On that note:
Shout out to our Maintenance Director, Mike Ross. Mike was able to repair the ventilation for the THS locker rooms. After 20 years of being out of service, Mike found the difficulty and created a workaround that will serve until the new high school is completed.
