Gratitude and Holiday Cheer Around TPS

Dear TPS Staff & Families:

I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I am so very grateful for our incredible staff and families. As we approach the holiday season, I have been reminded countless times of the overflowing love, generosity, and support in Topeka. Our community is amazing!

Our students and staff have been spreading joy throughout the community through family events, musicals, and fine arts activities. We enjoyed the Miracle on Kansas Avenue Parade, where Topeka Public Schools was well represented.

Thank you for supporting our holiday family adoption process, which has given us opportunities to donate gifts to families in need. We greatly appreciate our incredible staff and students.

Over the past several weeks, we truly saw love in action through the generosity of our community partners at Advisors Excel, who adopted numerous students at every school for the holiday season. This is a season of caring and sharing, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to experience the holiday with our Topeka family.

As we prepare for Winter Break (December 23, 2024 - January 3, 2025), please review our inclement weather procedures highlighted in the newsletter below. We look forward to an exciting 2025 semester when students return on Monday, January 6, and we thank you for your unified support and love this year.

Happy holidays from my family to yours!

Dr. Tiffany Anderson
