Kindergarten Prom

Kindergarten is dressed to impress in bows and bowties!

TC Families,

As the school year is winding down, we want to take a moment to celebrate our incredible students and look back on some wonderful recent events. We are so proud of everything our community has accomplished this year!

🎶 Musical Highlights

A huge congratulations to our Band, Strings, and Chorus students on their spectacular spring performances at Robinson Secondary School last week! Your hard work and talent truly shone on stage. Check out the photo below featuring our amazing musicians in action at Robinson! 

🎉 Celebrating Our Students

We are looking forward to all of our upcoming end-of-year class and grade-level celebrations this week!

Our Kindergarten team kicked off the festivities in style last week with their adorable Bows & Bowties Kindergarten Prom. It was a magical event and the perfect way to start our end-of-year countdown.

📘 Yearbook Distribution & Signatures
