October 2014 ths.alpineschools.org Mr. Murphy’s Memo: School Improvement Projects: Spread the Word, We need your help! Timpanogos High School is now in its nineteenth year of operation. Although we believe we have the best-maintained edifice and grounds in the state, there are many areas that need attention. We are currently working to raise funds for the following three projects: 1) THS auditorium, 2) Main Gym, and 3) Football Field. Our school district will match funds raised. Please visit our website homepage @ http://ths.alpineschools.org/ and locate the images below to view details. Our students deserve the best! All donations at whatever amount will help us move forward. Spread the word if you know someone positioned to make a large donation. We welcome your involvement and contribution at whatever level. ~ Mr. Murphy ([email protected]) College and Career Readiness Day http://ths.alpineschools.org/wpcontent/uploads/sites/8/2014/09/PLAN-and-college-dayschedule-20143.pdf We believe high school graduation is a minimum.

Presenters carry their anti-pornography message across borders of religion, political beliefs, and social backgrounds by presenting the issue as a public health concern, rather than as a moral, political, or religious argument. Parents can find more information about Fight the New Drug @ http://www.fightthenewdrug.org/ A school wide assembly is planned for October 30, in which teenagers will examine overwhelming research detailing the highly addictive nature of pornography and its damaging effects on individuals, relationships, and society. Parents are invited to attend an informational session regarding the assembly on Thursday, October 9 at 6:00p.m. in the Auditorium. For more information contact Assistant Principal Kyle Robinson.
