2022 8th Grade Celebration Sets High Bar

TMS celebrated its first 8th grade celebration last Friday, a culmination of months of fundraising and planning by the event committee.

Students enjoyed a summertime theme, with a magician, pizza, and a variety of activities including a DJ, glow bingo, karaoke, inflatable fun, a candy walk, airbrush tattoos, board games, basketball, and a shaved ice cart.

Earlier in the day, 8th grade families attended a recognition ceremony, with several student speakers and student awards.

Thank you to the community partners who supported this event, including the Pearson family, Walmart, Pacific Sleep, Infinity Images, as well as the 8th grade families who donated to this event, and any community member who participated in this fundraising.

Finally, massive thanks to co-chairs Amber Ferschweiler and Sarah Sullivan, along with their planning team, Sherri Kulink, Ana Pacheco, Hong Huynh, Dianne Jenkins, Holly Minisce, Kimberly Pearson, Helen Leiser, Katherine Rule, and Debbie Herron.

The hunt is on for next year’s co-chairs! If you are interested in leading the 2023 8th grade celebration, please contact Hannah (president@tumwaterpto.org).
