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])

Fight the New Drug Parent Night
and Assembly
Fight The New Drug is a non-profit organization that
informs students of the harmful effects of
pornography, and provides help to teens who struggle
with pornography addiction. 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.
Coming soon!
Hats, beanies, t-shirts, socks, hoodies,
shorts, sweats, and ties will be
available online through Titan’s Den.
Look for the link on the THS Website
soon!
