TISD Basketball Benefit – The Timpson ISD family of staff and students along with community members played in a basketball benefit game Friday, February 24th at the THS gym.

According to teacher Stephanie Jamar, who organized the event, $1,250 was raised. Ms. Jamar presented the money to family members of Claycee and Mrs. Sparks during the benefit. Ms. Jamar wishes to thank all those who made this event such a great success for a wonderful cause.
Timpson Band Wins State Honor - On February 10 at the Texas Music Educators Association Conference in San Antonio, the Timpson High School Band was presented an award for winning the Outstanding Performance Series, a state-wide competition sponsored by the Association of Texas Small School Bands. In this competition, bands submit recordings of the contest selections played at their UIL Concert Contest in the spring. Those recordings are then judged at the region, area and state levels. The winning recordings in each classification are compiled onto a CD that is distributed to band directors throughout the state, and plaques are presented to the winning bands. The Timpson band won with their recording of “Blue Ridge Reel” by Brian Balmages. This is the 3rd consecutive year that THS Band has advanced to the state finals in this competition. Congratulations to the band for receiving this honor and doing such a fine job representing TISD!
