NHS Scholarship Winner
Congratulations to senior Abbey Godfrey for being recognized by the National Honor Society as an NHS Scholar!
Abbey Godfrey has attended TMA for 13 years. More than 10,000 students applied for this scholarship, with only 600 recipients. Abbey was awarded a $3,200 scholarship that she will use as a student at Auburn University in the fall, where she plans on studying industrial and systems engineering.
Hands-Only CPR Kit
TMA is grateful for the recent donation from the Simpkins Family Foundation of a Hands-Only CPR kit!

These kits were created to empower students to learn and develop skills and knowledge in CPR, AED, and choking relief in a school classroom setting.
The Simpkins Family Foundation is committed to providing support for innovative programs that promote lasting change in our communities. They provide grants to organizations throughout Central Florida that are actively working to better the community through resources for children and families, education, and healthcare.
Supporting the American Heart Association’s initiative to provide CPR training and resources in all schools was a perfect fit for their mission! Founding member Brittany Sobering shares, “Supporting AHA’s partnership with our schools that equips students to respond quickly in an emergency is something we can all be proud of, and our Foundation was happy to contribute!”
Spanish Honor Society
The Spanish Honor Society packed over 200 gift bags filled with Thank You cards and snacks for nurses and employees at three Advent Health COVID units in the area!
The Empty Bowls Project
On Thursday, January 28 our Fine Arts department facilitated its third annual Empty Bowls Project: a benefit dinner providing help for the needy. Hot soup, bread, and a cookie were carefully packaged and hand-delivered to families during our on-campus drive-thru. Along with their meal, each family also received a ceramic bowl made with care by our TMA Fine Arts students, a symbolic reminder of all the empty bowls — or hungry people — within our community.
This year all profits were donated to Harvest Time International, an organization providing a hand up to children and families in need. Together, students raised over $2,800.00 through this incredible mission!
A special thanks to everyone who participated!

We are so proud of you, Evan!
Teacher Appreciation Week
Teacher Appreciation Week is always a special time to honor the incredible teachers at TMA! This week Mrs. Debbie Clark, one of our middle school teachers, received a special text from a former TMA student expressing just how much her life has had a lasting impact from Mrs. Clark. Read Andrea’s story below!
“HAPPY TEACHER APPRECIATION DAY!!!! I’m graduating with my undergraduate in aerospace engineering. And I can’t wait to bring you to Houston and give you a tour of mission control — all cause I had the best teacher that got me hooked on space!! I am an aerospace engineer. I will be training as a flight controller at Johnston Space Center in Houston to help support the International Space Station (ISS). I have loved space ever since I learned about it when I took Mrs. Clark’s class in sixth grade, [and] she has continued to support me throughout high school and college. She’s the one teacher that touched me and made a difference. It is really cool to look back and have that foundation and friendship and share all my endeavors with the best teacher I ever had.” — Andrea Maskiell
