News from the Principal's Desk
Dear Tuscarora Families,
November 16-20 is the week set aside know as American Education Week. Even in the virtual setting we want to celebrate the opportunities we have to learn and grow - as students, teachers and families. It also is a time to remember the simple ways that you can support your child’s education on a daily basis:
One of the ways that you can honor your child's teachers is to encourage your child to turn on their camera during the live synchronous sessions each day. We are finding that when a few students turn their cameras on, many others will follow suit. Make your teacher's day... let them see your face!
Today is World Kindness Day, and I want to draw your attention to a very important event coming up next week at THS. The I Believe in Me Foundation will be holding it's next food drive and flu shot clinic next Thursday at THS. Details are below in the News Section, but I want to stress that this is open to the entire community. We continue to see and recognize the need of our neighbors. The "kind thing" in this instance is to raise awareness, and perhaps bring food assistance to those who you know that need it.
I want to rewind to last Saturday, a great day for the entire Titan community. We have had over 200 people register to participate in the Titan Virtual 5k, and several dozen who came to pick up their t-shirts and run the race on our track. In addition, The Titan SGA and Local love held a very successful canned food drive for our community helping to fill the pantries of those in our community as the weather turns cold. Finally, the Key Club partnered with Sleep In Heavenly Peace, a local organization affiliated with the Frederick Kiwanis Club that builds beds and provides mattresses, sheets and pillows for local kids that don't have these basic necessities. To see all three of these outreach programs collecting, serving, building and supporting (in a safe fashion) made a huge impression. Kindness and service do matter, Titans, and once again you stepped up. A few pictures below.
With gratitude for all Titans who serve,
Christopher Berry, Principal

Attention Students and Parents!
The THS yearbook needs your help! Thank you to all the parents and students who have responded to our requests for pictures and stories to include in this year's book! But, the year keeps going and we have a lot of pages to fill, so we are going to have to continue to respectfully ask that you consider getting involved and help us to tell YOUR story this year.
Please take a moment to look at the Link Tree account we have set up for the yearbook topics this year. We are updating topics each week and the links on our link tree open up google forms that you can use to send us pictures (cell phone pics are fine) and maybe a brief write up about the pics you submit.
Thank you from Mr. Hartman and the Remember the Titans Yearbook Staff

Remember the Titans - A Special Message for 9th Grade Students and Families
The Remember the Titans Yearbook staff wanted to reach out specifically to our 9th grade class. We are plugging away at building our yearbook with a lot of help from our students and staff who are sending us great photos and other sorts of yearbook content every week. Much of this content is coming in from Juniors and Seniors.
We want to represent every grade in our annual publication equally, but it is always important for us, as a yearbook staff, to make sure our ninth graders are featured in our book. This first year of high school is unlike anything any of us have ever experienced and we want to make sure we tell the story of this freshman class. Please consider getting involved and help us to tell your story. The link below takes you to our ‘linktree’ account where we have links to a long list of google forms that you can use to answer questions and upload pictures (cell phone pictures are more than ok).
Some of the forms don’t really apply to our underclassmen (unless a 9th grader has a car?) but there are a lot of general topics that apply to all grades (home work space, mask fashion, crazy quarantine stories, etc). So, please take a moment to look over our topics (we update topics weekly), and show us who this freshman class is!
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Hartman directly at: Richard.hartman@fcps.org
Here is the link to the Link tree: https://linktr.ee/THStitanyearbook

Titan Students of Term One
Outstanding Titan Scholar of Term 1: Bridget Mbah, nominated six times over the term!
Comments: Week 10 - Dr. Dawes: "Bridget is the epitome of positive and upbeat. She is incredibly kind and uplifting to the other students. She greets people as she comes into the chat, encourages people when we have in-class competitions, and is always eager and willing to cheer on her fellow classmates in whatever they do."
Week 10 - Ms. McGuiness: "Bridget's work ethic and dedication to her education are incredible!"
Week 9 - Ms. McGuiness: "Bridget is an incredibly hard-working young lady! She is dedicated in her studies, participates frequently in class, helps her classmates, and doesn't hesitate to ask clarifying questions. She is quite simply, amazing!"
Week 8 - "Bridget is an incredibly dedicated student. She is kind to her classmates, participates daily, and is simply a caring and compassionate person!"
Week 6 - Dr. Dawes: "Bridget always comes to class with a positive attitude and a thirst for learning. She goes out of her way to be kind to her classmates (and teachers) and offers positive encouragement. Her dedication to excellence is seen in not only her scores, but in everything she does. It is truly a pleasure to have her as a student!"
Week 6 - Ms. Crowell: "Bridget submits all assignments on time, actively participates in class, and is very thorough in her responses. She always has a positive attitude and is extremely thoughtful!"
Outstanding Titan Character of Term 1: Mr. Cullings' Entire Flex Class, nominated by Mr. Cullings...
Comment: "My FLEX class is the one I look forward to the most everyday. I really get a sense of each member's character and I feel the most connected to this group of any of my students. I can't wait to meet this group FtoF. Of 19 students we get a consistent 12-14 students who attend. Everyone gets involved in the SEL discussions in some way big or small. Not everyone comes on camera or speaks but we laugh a lot! We gossip and talk about mean teachers and too much work and bratty siblings and sandwiches just like we would do if we were in A151 with Mr. Cullings. We like to collaborate on the FLEX Puzzles and get stumped on our weekly Cartoon Kahoot. We respect each other even though we like to tease each other."
MR. CULLINGS, THANK YOU FOR CULTIVATING THIS OVER TERM 1 - You represent ALL the teachers who are working so hard to create a Flex dynamic like this, and it doesn't happen overnight... that's why your Flex students are taking the term award for their character of school spirit, collaboration, caring for peers and their teacher, and willingness to grow through discussion.

Athletic Boosters - Our Titans Need your Help and Support!
FCPS Athletics is a MD State Leader! We are one of the ONLY local counties to have any sort of athletics occurring right now! The student athletes are having a blast, seeing their teammates, connecting with their coaches and staying safe! However, there are no competitions, and therefore, no athletic budget (which comes solely from gate receipts). The state is now looking at the possibilities of incorporating three shortened seasons in the spring, and there is a lot of work to be done to prepare and plan for such a non-traditional plan for interscholastic athletics. Please consider joining us to be a part of the solution. Our teams, our coaches, and most importantly, your students NEED our support and positivity now and this upcoming year. The loss of a traditional fall and winter ticket gate means the serious loss of all athletic funding. Come help us determine how we can/will be able to support ALL athletic teams moving forward.
BE A PART OF THE 2020-21 THS ATHLETIC BOOSTER CLUB!
As we prepare for whatever HS Athletics will look like during the upcoming year, the THS Athletic Boosters wants your input, welcomes your ideas, and needs your support. With the uncertainty of the upcoming year and the current financial conditions, this is the best possible way to help support the student athletes at Tuscarora. Each and every program is going to need our help navigating this year.
