Over the weekend NJROTC cadets marched in the “Veterans on Parade” parade in Marion, IL with SIU AFROTC cadets on Saturday and supported the First Responders Service at Bellview Baptist Church on Sunday. One of our 8th grade cadets, Baylee Foglesong, also supported.
Here are a couple of ways you can give back to the PT Cheer team if you appreciate all their work: There will be a McDonald's Night Fundraiser at the Jackson St. McDonald's tomorrow, Tuesday September 12, from 5:00 - 7:00 PM. Also, the "You've Been Pommed!" fundraiser is ongoing. See the flyers for details!
PTHS NJROTC cadets completed a vigil at Dolly McNutt Memorial Plaza this morning in observance of Patriot Day. Participating cadets included Chloe Brace, Levi Brown, Payten Fogelsong, Dalton Landwehr, Donovan Minyard-Barton, and Dakota Peral.
Thank you, cadets, for helping us honor the observance of Patriot Day!
We would like to welcome PTHS Student Advocate Tim Meadows! Mr. Meadows is a familiar face at PTHS that has taken on this new role. He is available to help students and parents address academic, educational, or personal needs and make referrals as appropriate. See the flyer for more info.
The Kentucky Directors of Pupil Personnel have designated Wednesday September 13 as statewide “High Attendance Day” to emphasize that consistent attendance is essential for success in school. Paducah Public Schools are working hard on improving our district wide attendance, because we know that students who are at school on time have a higher success rate than those who aren't.
On High Attendance Day, Kentucky’s public elementary, middle and high schools may compete in small-school or large-school categories. Six winners will be determined statewide based on each individual school’s performance, regardless of its district’s showing. The school in each category with the highest percentage attendance for September 13 will receive a minimum $500. If the school has more than 500 students, the award will increase based on enrollment.
The Paducah Tilghman African American Leadership Club will host a Meet and Greet information session for students, parents, and community members Monday, September 11, 4:00 PM at the Paducah Innovation Hub Seminar Room.
Tornado Family,
We appreciate your attendance at Paducah Tilghman High School athletic events and your support of our student athletes. Our fall sports teams have had a great start highlighted by the Tornado Football victory over Mayfield to move to 3-0 on the season and a #4 ranking in the state.
Moving forward we plan to implement a new policy with an emphasis on supervision and admission to games. This new policy will apply to all athletic events:
All students from kindergarten through 8th grade, regardless of school district, must be accompanied by an adult at all school/athletic events. Students from kindergarten through 8th grade will not be admitted without an adult in attendance.
We are also introducing a new app called Eventlink, where you will be able to find games, practices, and events for all members of our Paducah Tilghman family. You can download the app, create an account, and pick which school and athletic calendars you want to follow. We encourage you to get involved in this new and exciting way to be a part of PTHS Athletics. See the attached picture for more information on how to create an account from your phone or your desktop computer.
Go Big Blue!
Jay Burgett, Athletic Director
Paducah Tilghman High School
