MELISSA SKOPCZYNSKI: 'College day' a big success at Truman!

By Melissa Skopczynski

Truman High School Principal

The weeks seem to be going by faster and faster.  It is hard to believe that we are already at the halfway mark for the trimester. 

A big “thank you” to the Truman Counseling Department for putting on an awesome college onsite day for our students. I do not have final numbers, but we had many students leave the media center with a smile on their face knowing that they had been accepted to the college of their choice. They were dressed in a professional manner and represented themselves very well.

This is the type of thing that makes being an educator worth it. It should be noted that we are one of the only schools Downriver that offers this to our students. Today alone 21 out of the 30 students that applied were accepted to Michigan State University. Sparty On!

A friendly reminder that progress reports are due Tuesday (Oct. 22) and we have a staff meeting Wednesday (Oct. 23) after school.  Parent-Teacher Conferences are Thursday (Oct. 24).  If for some reason you cannot attend, please let me know.  

Friday, the varsity football team hosts Melvindale. Please try to attend and support the team. And a special thanks to the Pep Band for all of their support.

Remember: This is YOUR team, this is MY team, this is OUR Team. Together, we are making a difference.

Have a great week.
