Grade 11 - Damon Horn, Matthew Merriman, Kelly Holmstrom are all grade 11 students who have put them self in good position to represent TMSS at SHSAA curling Championships. Congrats on your victories and good luck with upcoming Regionals and Provincials. Grade 12 - Hayley Svenson is the student of the month because she exemplifies what it means to be a role model. She is hard working, always strives to improve and never hesitates to help out a classmate. Hayley always brings a smile and a positive attitude to every class. She also shows her hard work and dedication in her curling and skating where she is a patient and likable coach that her skaters love to see every week.
