The assembly will be at <strong>Tipp</strong>ecanoe High School at 10 a.m. for 9 th through 12 thgraders and at <strong>Tipp</strong>ecanoe Middle School at 1:30 p.m. for 4 th through 8 th graders. Brett visitedus in 2006 and our students and parents still rave about his energetic, motivational, andenthusiastic presentation. Brett feels that there are no handicaps, or obstacles in life which can'tbe overcome if you truly believe in yourself.

We feel that this will be an excellent opportunity forlearning to happen outside of the classroom.TEE’s mission is to provide funds to students, faculty, and employees of <strong>Tipp</strong> <strong>City</strong><strong>Schools</strong> for the creation of, or participation in, enrichment programs.
