We need to make a decision now that will enable us to provide<br />

“The Whole Experience”<br />

for our students, staff and community in a cost-effective manner.


As parents and concerned citizens we need to<br />

be able to offer our students the best chance<br />

of success in a wide variety of skill sets for<br />

their future.<br />

It is not about the programs or boundaries, as<br />

programs and boundaries can be moved and<br />

changed as they have been in the past. It is<br />

about the ability of the facility to run programs<br />

with excellence in a cost effective method.<br />

We would like to show you that<br />

THOMAS A. STEWART<br />

is the best place for this to happen.

the community. What we want you to know is that<br />

<strong>TASS</strong> is enjoyed by many community members on<br />

weekends and evenings. Take a look around and<br />

see people enjoying the outdoors by fishing,<br />

playing Frisbee, dog walking, exploring the trails<br />

and river and overall scenery. It is also appreciated<br />

by our surrounding senior community.
