Each year Clarkson University solicits nominations from their current students asking them to share how a teacher from their past inspired them. This year our own Titan Science Teacher Extraordinaire Melanie Drury was nominated by her former student Celia Darling (Class of '20). Here is an excerpt of what Celia had to say about the impact of Mrs. Drury on her path:

I am so deeply grateful for your confidence in me, your support of Earth Club, and your continued championing of students’ sustainability work at Thomas. You help kids save the world with the highest level of grace and patience. You have had a profound impact on me and are truly an outstanding educator. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Congratulations Mrs. Drury!!

Our Earth Club is excited to share with you our events for Earth Week next week. All week we will have the Clash of the Cans competition between the grades to see who can stack their bin to the ceiling first. Make sure that your cans and bottles are nonalcoholic and rinsed before placing them in your class bin.

Monday wear neon because our future is bright!

Monday afternoon Thomas Titans are invited to the AMC theater parking lot at 4:15pm to help clean the area and surrounding woods. Bring a pair of gloves and let's clean up our town!
