The Tippecanoe Educational Endowment (TEE) is pleased to announce that we will be hosting
an assembly on March 5th featuring Brett Eastburn: "No Arms, No Legs, No
Handicaps". The assembly will be at Tippecanoe High School at 10 a.m. for 9th through 12
th
graders and at Tippecanoe Middle School at 1:30 p.m. for 4th through 8
th graders. Brett visited
us in 2006 and our students and parents still rave about his energetic, motivational, and
enthusiastic presentation. Brett feels that there are no handicaps, or obstacles in life which can't
be overcome if you truly believe in yourself. Brett’s website - http://bretteastburn.com/
Although this assembly is not open to the public, we encourage you to talk about the experience
with your child. We feel that this will be an excellent opportunity for
learning to happen outside of the classroom.
TEE’s mission is to provide funds to students, faculty, and employees of Tipp City
Schools for the creation of, or participation in, enrichment programs. TEE is excited
about Brett’s visit and knows that it will help all of us as we enter into the home stretch of
Q4 for the 2011/2012 school year.
