We welcomed adorable new baby quail and cheered on our fluffy ducklings as they learned to swim. Plus, meet "Mr. Green" the new Green Team mascot ready!
TC Families,
With May winding down, we wanted to take a quick opportunity to celebrate the fantastic dedication and effort our students have shown during the recent testing window. They have shown true resilience, and we are incredibly grateful to our wonderful families for everything you do at home to keep them energized, rested, and motivated.
🌟 A Special Thanks to Our PTA!
We also want to give a massive shout-out and a huge thank you to our amazing PTA for putting together this week's PTA Variety Show! It was an incredible evening showcasing the immense talent, creativity, and bravery of our students. Events like this wouldn't be possible without the countless hours of dedication from our PTA volunteers. Scroll down to the PTA News section of this message to see some wonderful pictures from the event!

We want to wish our entire community a safe and peaceful Memorial Day weekend. However you choose to spend the holiday, we hope it brings plenty of relaxation and quality time with family and friends.
Important Reminder: Our school and front office will be closed from Monday, May 25 through Wednesday, May 27. We will welcome everyone back on Thursday, May 28, energized and ready to finish out the school year strong!
Have a fantastic and refreshing long weekend!
