It’s official! TSOF has turned over the keys for the Boutique to the Six District Compact’s new career tech program: Fashion Merchandising, Design, & Innovation! (Hosted at THS)

Thanks to Cook Companies, and all of our Boutique sponsors, these students will have the gift of space, inventory, and other tools, as they explore the world of fashion.

Note, the Boutique will still be available and free to all students within the Compact, however, policies and appointments may change as these students develop and implement new ways of merchandising and styling that work best!

For questions, attire donations, or inquiries regarding dates/times for “shopping,” you can contact Mrs. Haller or Mrs. Caicco @

TSOF is so grateful to wrap up our 3rd school year of helping provide individual, group, and community involved opportunities to students! We never expect recognition, as our support and giveback is enough, and the reason why we do what we do. So our ED was pleasantly surprised to have this awesome thank you card hand delivered by 8th grade science teacher, Klair Heestand, and signed by the entire 8th grade group!

We wish you all a SAFE, SUNNY & RELAXING summer break!

Until next year…..

So excited to work with Collin on this program, and can’t wait to see its impact! 💪🏼

Tallmadge alumnus Collin Dixon and Tallmadge Schools Opportunity Foundation Executive Director Jamie Bezbatchenko visited morning meeting at TMS this morning to announce an exciting new initiative that Collin wants to introduce at TCS next year called "Beyond the Endzone".

The program will allow older students to mentor younger students in an effort to foster leadership, connection, encouragement, and positive relationships throughout the district. We are excited to continue exploring opportunities that help students grow both inside and outside of the classroom.

Thank you to Collin and Jamie for sharing this opportunity with our students this morning!

With Prom season coming to an end, it’s texts/pics like these that are constant reminders of why we do what we do 🥰

With Prom one week away, that’s a wrap on the 25/26 boutique!

EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT:
Beginning next school year, TSOF will be turning the boutique over to students in the CTE Fashion Merchandising program hosted by Tallmadge High School! The location will still be at Cook Companies, but all operations, merchandising, appointments, drop offs/donations, and garment reconstruction and design will be handled by these students, helping to provide them with the opportunity to dive into the world of fashion with a hands-on approach.
Stay tuned for contact info beginning late summer/early fall!

To students in the Compact attending this year’s Prom…..be SAFE, have fun, and make memories!
