This course will prepare them for the next academic year and give them a stronger foundation from which to start the school year. Additionally, students will participate in team building activities to build community to establish a strong foundation for the new academic year.
This program is for TMI students only, including new TMI students who are enrolled for the 2026-2027 school year.
