Catching up with the news--

News item number one: By now, most of you who live in the area are aware that the girls basketball team finished their appearance at the State B championships in Spokane with 5th place. One of our senior girls was named to the all-tournament first team and tied the record for the most three pointers in a single game--nine! We are very proud of the girls.

News item number two: Patty and Marc R (class of '99) are now parents of little Jon Isaac. After Patty spent 40-some days in the hospital, little Jon was truly a miracle. They are praising God for him.

News item number three: TBS English teacher, Lisa McGowan was featured in an article in the Tacoma newspaper this week. She does an incredible job of teaching Elie Weisel's Night, and, as part of the unit, invited a holocaust survivor to talk to all of our sophomore class members. I'm not sure how long it will remain on-line, but you can check out the article here.

News item number three: A Night of Fine Arts will be held on Thursday, March 25th from 6 to 8 pm in the gym. We would love to have you come and see the work our students have done. Featured will be the holocaust museum projects that Lisa McGowan's students created. The art department will showcase student work, the yearbook and digital photography classes will show the best of the year's photography, the music department will present instrumental chamber music, and student creative writing will be available. Admission is free, with donations going to support the instrumental music department.

News item number four: This Saturday, March 20, the annual auction will be held in the TBS gym. Admission is $15. Come and help make the night a success for the school. You may get some incredible bargains, too. Doors open at 4:00 pm.
