TMS celebrates improved test scores with bungee jumping, other activities
Vickie Hughes, family and consumer science teacher, tries out the bungee equipment at Tonganoxie Middle School Thursday. TMS students and teachers were celebrating the preliminary Kansas Assessment Test data, which showed marked improvements over last year's test.
Preliminary test data for the 2008 Kansas State Assessment test showed a marked increase in reading and math scores throughout the Tonganoxie School District. To celebrate the accomplishment for middle school students, Tonganoxie Middle School had a schoolwide party, which included activities such as face painting, inflatable obstacle courses and dunking TMS principal Jill Dickerson.

Point of View
What’s the best way to spend a snow day?
Shovel your driveway and paths, check neighbors’ driveways and then grab all your closest little ones and find the biggest sledding hill. Snowmen also are a must. Snow days are a great time to catch up on missed shows and much-needed rest. I love snowdays, they haven’t changed one bit even as an adult, although I am sure not all working adults can say that, but I am happy I can. I was excited to see the snowmen and other snow sculptures throughout the Lawrence and Kansas City metro areas.
