📣 TROJAN ATHLETE OF THE WEEK 📣
Congratulations to Ailah Klingelsmith (Sideline Cheerleading), one of our Trojan Athletes of the Week!
Coach Tina Preston highlights Ailah's commitment to giving her very best and consistently giving 110% at every practice. Ailah is coachable, receptive to feedback, and always willing to learn, grow, and improve. When given constructive criticism, she takes it positively and uses it as an opportunity to become a stronger athlete and teammate. What truly sets Ailah apart is the heart she brings to the team.
On picture day, before even taking care of herself, Ailah was helping her teammates with their hair and making sure everyone else was ready. That simple moment demonstrated the kind of teammate she is—selfless, caring, supportive, and always willing to put others first. Ailah has truly demonstrated Trojan Spirit through her work ethic, attitude, sportsmanship, and commitment to her teammates. She represents what it means to be a Trojan, not only through her performance, but through the character she shows every day.
Great job, Ailah! 🏆

This week, TCAPS is launching a 6-week safety awareness campaign! 🏫 Protecting our students and staff begins with clear communication. That’s why we use the Standard Response Protocol (SRP), the official response framework recognized by the State of Michigan Office of School Safety.
Watch this quick video to see how the SRP works: https://youtu.be/jH-EY3yGZDs
The SRP uses shared, clear language built around 5 core actions: Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter. Follow along over the next 5 weeks as we highlight each action!

Congratulations to Paige Rankens (Volleyball), one of our Trojan Athletes of the Week!
Paige is an asset in every position on the court, and she is one of the team's star setters! Coach Kama says she can rely on Paige to cover all bases, execute plays, and hit her targets, and as a bonus, she is just as sweet as she is athletic. Her team is lucky to have her!

🏈 TROJAN 8TH GRADE ATHLETE OF THE WEEK 🏈
Congratulations to Tucker Fons (Football), our 8th Grade Trojan Athlete of the Week!
Tucker is a recent transfer to Traverse City East Middle School from Mattawan, Michigan.
Tucker made an immediate impression that he was a solid football player. He picked up the offensive schemes and hand signals quickly along with showing strong instincts on defense.
In the first game vs Gaylord, the Trojans unfortunately had two key players out due to illness. Tucker wasn't 100% confident he was ready to take on starting roles on both sides of the ball. Not only was he ready, he excelled in both positions of starting middle linebacker and H-Back. He even sustained a wrist injury during the game. He got it taped and immediately wanted to go back in.
Tucker made many key blocks on offense to protect the quarterback and open up holes for the running backs. Defensively he controlled the middle of the field with great reads and had a nice tackle for a loss.
Tucker has shown a high IQ for the game along with physical and mental toughness.
We can't wait to watch him grow as a Trojan Student Athlete!
Great job, Tucker! 🏆
