FIRST TERM REPORT CARDS AND INTERVIEW TIMES
Teachers are looking forward to meeting all our parents as we set goals with your children for first
term. Interviews will be held Thursday, November 13th in the evening and Friday, November 14th in
the morning.
Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Thomas Street’s Library
November 10th to 14th
We invite you to come and share in this celebration of books and reading with us. A Book Fair is a
great way to connect students with books they want to read. To help your child find the newest and
best books, he or she will visit the Fair during class time. Students will be allowed to purchase books
during that visit, but we also encourage your child to create a Book Fair “Wish List”, which they can
then share with you at home.
Family Night is Thursday, November 13th from 3:00 – 8:30 pm. It’s a perfect time to explore the
affordable books and products with your children. If you can’t make it Thursday, we’ll be open
Friday morning from 8:30 – 11:30 am. We encourage you to take the time for this special event
and check out what is available for the young adolescent reader today.
Remember, a portion of the sales benefits our school directly. By purchasing books and supporting
our Book Fair, you enable our school to obtain additional books and educational resources for our
school library.
See you at the Fair!!
Thanks for encouraging your child to read

From the Phys. Ed. Department:
It’s been another busy time here at Thomas Street
We want to take a moment to recognize Mr. Grdisa, Mrs. Skirrow, Mrs. Nebel, Mr. Launder, Mrs.
Bennett and from last year Ms. Carreiro and Miss Rhamey for TSMS being recognized by the Federal
organization PHE Canada for "outstanding achievement in quality physical education". This is
for outstanding, cutting edge HPE program and our great clubs, teams, intramurals and school wide
events. Great job Thomas Street.
On October 20 & 21 Mrs. Nebel had the privilege of taking the girls and boys Football Teams to
Tomken Rd. Senior Public School for the yearly tournament. A big thank you to Ms. Allibon for
accompanying her on Tuesday. Both teams braved the cold rainy conditions and played extremely
well. They fought hard to beat their opponents and managed to win several of their games. We are
very proud of both teams and enjoyed watching the amazing talent on the field. Congratulations to
both teams for coming in 5th place overall. Football is such an exciting sport and we hope you all
consider playing next year, whether here at Thomas Street, or in high school.
Ms. Russo and Ms. Stanley would like to send out a huge congratulations to everyone who competed
in the Fall Fun Run meet on October 22nd . It was a fun morning and they did an outstanding job! We
would also like to congratulate Ashley S. for receiving 2nd place in the senior girls division, Emma
G. who received 4th in the senior girls division and Chloe G. who placed 1st in the junior girls
division! Way to go TSMS!
Sr. Boys Volleyball team is working very hard as their league has begun. The Sr. Girls have been
working and competing very hard. They placed 5th out of 18 at the Milton Tournament. They are
currently in 2nd place in their league. They are travelling to Mentor in November and are competing
and helping host the Provincial Cup of Volleyball which will have 32 of the top boys and girls teams
from all over Ontario. The season will wrap up with the Final four playoffs on here at TSMS.
Our Girls Field Hockey teams endured cold weather, strong winds, flying canopies and stray
raccoons yesterday at our tournament at Hillcrest on . In typical TSMS spirit, we came out strong and
our teams played hard! Congratulations for placing SECOND! Your coaches are SO proud of you!
Thanks for a great and eventful season!

It's the end of October, which means the cheerleading season is well underway. Our team is unique
as the girls work-out and practice solely at the PCT Cobras gym, a local Mississauga cheerleading
club. This year, our team is coached by Terrel (Tee Tee) Baker who is a member of PCT Cobras and
Erika Schmid who is a member of Cheerforce Wolfpack. Even though the girls have only been
practicing for a short time, they are picking up skills and looking more and more like team every
week. With new music, stunts, and dance routines to learn in the coming weeks, it's going to be an
exciting time for our team! We're looking forward to a great season!
