💙 **Silver Foxes!** 💙

Tomorrow, Monday, October 5th, is **Stomp Out Bullying Day**, and we’re asking all of our students and staff to **WEAR BLUE** to school! 💙

Kindness is one of the most important qualities we can choose to show every day. When given a choice, **always choose kindness.**

Let’s make Monday—and every day that follows—a reminder to:
💙 Choose kindness over judgment
💙 Include someone new
💙 Lift others up
💙 Show compassion and care
💙 Make our school a place where everyone feels valued, supported, and welcome

Let’s turn our Silver, Garnet, and Black into a sea of **BLUE** tomorrow as we stand together to **STOMP OUT BULLYING!**

**Be Kind. Be Brave. Be the Difference.** 💙


**Success, Nothing Less!**

It was TOMS Time at Barre3 this morning! 💪✨

Our very own Ms. Megan Leduc led a special workout class for our teachers, and it was fantastic! What a wonderful way to come together, prioritize wellness, and recharge so we can be our very best for our students. ❤️

Thank you, Ms. Leduc for helping us start the day strong!

Today was Custodian Appreciation Day, and man, are we blessed and lucky to have the BEST at TOMS! ❤️🖤

Mr. Al, Mr. Scott, Mr. Ed, Mr. John, Ms. Courtney, Ms. Michelle, and Ms. Alba are absolutely amazing! They work tirelessly every day to ensure that TOMS is one of the most well-maintained buildings—not just in HCS, but in the entire state!

We are so incredibly thankful for everything you do for our students, staff, and school. Your hard work, dedication, and care do not go unnoticed.

Thank you for helping make TOMS the special place that it is! We appreciate and celebrate each of you today and every day! ❤️🖤

🎉 Today was a FIRST at TOMS! 🦊

Today, we hosted our first ever school wide TOMS Club Day!

What is Club Day, you ask? It is a special time built into our school day from 9:25 AM to 10:10 AM when students have the opportunity to participate in a club, activity, or organization they are already part of or try something completely new!

Our Silver Foxes had 45 different experiences or clubs to choose from, including 3D Printing, Board Games, Bowling, Chess, Volleyball, Basketball, Puzzles, GaGa Pit, Forensics and CSI, Marine Biology, eSports, Running, Crafts, Future Teachers, LEGO, Flag Football, Handwriting, Book Club, Yoga, and so much more!

One of the best parts of the morning was seeing students and staff excited to share what they experienced, created, and learned. Students were stopping us in the halls to show off what they made, tell us how far they ran, and ask, “When is the next Club Day?”

It was truly awesome to see our students exploring new interests, building relationships, and having fun together!

📅 Our next TOMS Club Day will be Friday, November 6!

Enjoy a few photos from our very first Club Day! 🦊❤️

Success-Nothing Less!

Despite this week’s vocabulary word in Ms. Frazzini's Creative Writing class being **“lollygag,”** there’s definitely no lollygagging happening in class! 😂 Our students are working hard writing, rehearsing, and performing their own original pieces for our **Poetry Slam** this week.

So proud of the creativity, courage, and effort they’re putting into sharing their voices! 🎤📝✨

Last weekend, TOMS Orchestra Director, Mr. Hammer, traveled to the USC School of Music in Columbia, SC to take part in the 2026 SC Cello Choir "Cellobration."

It was a wonderful two days of Master Classes, Rehearsals, and "celloship" that culminated in a concert featuring a giant cello choir of over 80 cellists on stage performing.

Former TOMS Orchestra Members Lilly Hyman and Cameron Carnucci traveled with Mr. Hammer to participate, along with other cellists from the CFHS Orchestra.

There was also a reunion with former Silver Fox and Panther, Jason Tomlin, who is a sophomore at USC studying to become a music educator himself.

As a bonus, Mr. Hammer even got to "test drive" a Gagliano Cello made in 1733 worth an estimated $1.2 million!
