📚 DEAR Time = Best Time! Today our whole school dropped everything and read! From cozy corners to classroom forts, everyone found the perfect spot to curl up with a good book. ☕️❤️ The hot chocolate was a hit, and our principal’s read-aloud was the cherry on top! 🍒 Teachers loved seeing so many kids completely hooked on their books. So tell us—what’s the next story you’re diving into? 📖✨ #tilburyareapublicschool #dropeverythingandread #falcons #TAPS

it’s time to DROP EVERYTHING AND READ! 📚✨ Falcons, are you ready to get cozy? Tomorrow afternoon our whole school is dropping EVERYTHING to read at the same time! • Hot chocolate is on the way, thanks to Student Council ☕️ • Bring a cozy blanket and your best reading vibes • Read solo or with a buddy – it all counts as reading fun • Gym time = lights out + flashlights for extra cozy reading glow 🔦 Our principal will be sharing a school-wide read aloud, and if you’ve got an awesome book at home, bring it so you can dive right in! #tilburyareapublicschool #fortheloveofreading #DEAR

Due to this morning’s bus cancellations, afternoon school buses will NOT be running today. Families of bus students are asked to arrange pickup at the regular dismissal time, as there will be no bus transportation home. Thank you for your understanding and for planning accordingly.

Congratulations to our Senior Boys Volleyball team on their second place finish last night against Ridgetown. Great season, boys!

TAPS is running a canned and non-perishable food drive for Goodfellows from Dec 1–12, and we’re aiming for 1,500+ items to support local families this holiday season. Each day has a fun theme (Taco Tuesday, Snack Attack, Macaroni Monday, Toy Thursday and more), but any shelf-stable donations are welcome on any day. The class that brings in the most items will win a pizza party, so let’s fill those boxes and show how much our school community cares.

Moustache Day was on Friday. Raising awareness for men's health brought lots of smiles!
