Individual and team photos are available to order using the paper forms your students received at practice this week. You can also order online here: https://shop.hrimaging.com/shop/school.aspx?pid=0. Please make sure to send your athlete with their uniform on picture day as everyone will be photographed for the team picture. Cross Country photos will be Friday, October 6. Field Hockey has their second game of the season tomorrow, Friday, September 22 at Forsythe, and our 7th/8th Grade Soccer teams begin games next week. A reminder that there is bus transportation to away games, but that students will need to be picked up after the game (no bus back to Tappan). Field Hockey and Soccer games are scheduled to begin at 4:15pm, and usually wrap up by 5:45pm. Our Cross Country team has reached historic levels of participation - over 90 students are running this year! Our Cross Country coaches would greatly appreciate parent volunteers who could attend practice and potentially run with the team. Volunteers would assist coaches in getting runs started and monitoring athletes during practice. If interested, please contact Coaches Barb K (kalisewb@aaps.k12.mi.us), Jackie Malcolm (malcolmj@aaps.k12.mi.us), and AD Dan Etz (etz@aaps.k12.mi.us). Thanks for your support of our athletic program. Go Trojans! THURSDAY THING Please contact Thursday Thing editor Jenny Kinsey at tappanpto@gmail.com with submissions or questions. Deadline for submissions is 5:00 pm on the Tuesday of the week that the Thursday Thing is sent. The PTSO also welcomes your suggestions on how we can improve the Thursday Thing to best communicate school news to the Tappan community.
