Hello TPS Families! This week's Update has just landed in in-boxes. It's full of a lot of important information for the coming week. We hope that you have a chance to read it today. And we hope that you are enjoying a peaceful day!
Our thanks to all of the generous families who responded so quickly to our email call-out for a microwave donation for our TPS2 classroom building. We have now received one. We are so touched to have heard from so many kind families!
We are so excited to announce that we have received a generous grant from the Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County that will allow us to create a full-time, paid Support Services Internship. The intern will be mentored by both our Life Skills Coach and our Social-Emotional Learning Specialist, to help us build capacity to provide both trauma-induced and ongoing mental health supports for students and families. This grant is made possible through the Foundation's visionary new Resilient Community Mental Health grant program.
This is the third grant we have received from the Community Foundation since the start of the pandemic. They previously supported our efforts to assist food insecure families through their Rapid Response Grant, and our expansion of technology for virtual learning through their LEARN Fund. We are honored to have our heart-mind-voice work in the age of COVID recognized by the Community Foundation, and we are inspired by all of the generous and innovative ways they are stepping up to address community need in these unprecedented times.
