Truman High School Principal
This Cougar Connection is going to focus on the
highlights of the week:
Mr. Rudolph – A big welcome to Mr. Rudolph, our
new assistant principal, who comes to us from Lincoln High School. We are glad
to have you here and are happy you are now part of the Truman Family.
Youth Leadership Training – Last Tuesday our
student climate team participated in Youth Leadership Training. It was a
great experience for all. They will be sharing what they learned with
other students throughout the year!
CSH Marathon Walk – Last Monday concluded our
first monthly marathon walk competition to encourage staff wellness. Many
of our staff members were overachievers and completed many more miles than the
26.2 that make up a marathon. All participants were entered into a
drawing to receive a prime parking spot for the month. This month’s winner was
Mr. Rowe, who donated his spot to the highest bidder for a donation to the Penrickton
Center for the Blind. The parking spot when to Mrs. Woloszyk. Great job by Mr. Rowe.
Student Count Day – A big thanks to Mrs. Green, Becki and the entire staff for a
smooth and accurate student count day was week. Please continue to take
accurate attendance and track those students who have not shown up yet!
College Fair – A huge shout out to Mr. Abraham
and the entire counseling department for putting on an awesome College Fair!! It
was well attended not only Truman students, but many other students from the
surrounding area. It was great to see parents and students so excited about
exploring their options.
MDE Visit – Last week we had a unannounced visit
from Mrs. Gloria Chapman, who is our redesign monitor from the Michigan
Department of Education. She had nothing but positive things to say about the
school, the staff and the students. In fact I think the words she used were
that we were "the shining star" of the area. This is all thanks to those
who work so hard to make Truman successful.
I will end this blog with a few reminders.
As you know this is Homecoming Week. Given
all of the distractions, please limit passes to one person per pass and for
emergency purposes only.
In addition, teachers should be out in the hall between
classes to help monitor student behavior. If teachers and staff have time, plan on attending the
homecoming festivities. Students love to see staff members outside of the
classroom setting and it really goes a long way in helping to build those
relationships that help improve student achievement in the classroom.
As always, thank you for all you do!
Remember: This is your team, this is my team, this
is our team. Together, we are making a difference.
Have a great week.
