Happy Holidays to you and your family. Highlights of our progress in November and December 2010 include the following:
The TEAMS Institute Clubs at McKenzie High School and McKenzie Middle School met once each month during homeroom as an advisory council to plan activities for the TEAMS Institute. The current officers (photo left to right) Vice President-Alex Cawthon; President-Noreli Mirna Mendez; Reporter-Ananceah Warren; Secretary/Treasurer-Herivia Strayhorn attended leadership training in Nashville, Tennessee.
The TEAMS Institute is preparing for our grand opening at our new location
We will continue our advisory meetings at the High School on December 7 at 11:00 am and at the Middle School on December 8 at 12:30 pm. Our advisors have set up volunteer groups to host our grand opening.
Continue to check your newspaper, mailbox and email for announcements of our grand opening of our TEAMS Institute center with more games, fun, homework help, college, career, vocational preparation, college tours and field trips.
WE NEED YOUR HELP. To prepare for our grand opening, volunteer opportunities will begin on December 14, 2010.
In preparation for our grand opening, please sign our support list, mail a letter to us at 135 Bells Store Road McKenzie TN 38201 or send a letter with your child to our school meetings to tell us why this TEAMS Institute afterschool program is important to your family and your child. You can also email your letter to srmwms@yahoo.com. Or record a comment at 731-415-2588.
On December 9, during the regular Board of Mayor and Council meeting of the City of McKenzie Tennesse, Ms. Williams, a member of the TEAMS Institute leadership group was unanimously approved by appointment to serve the city as a member on the McKenzie Park and Recreational Board.
We have identified and submitted proposals for funding that could potentially increase our funding to over half a million dollars.
