Principal's Message
Hello Tinc Road School Families,
What a week at Tinc Road School! We celebrated the 100th day of school, Valentine's Day, and the Great Kindness Challenge. Our Teachers and Students enjoyed our Kindergartners Centennial Day of School Parade around Tinc Road! Our other grades enjoyed various 100th day projects to celebrate the occasion!
This past week, we enthusiastically embraced the Great Kindness Challenge, enjoying outstanding spirit by our students and staff, spreading warmth and compassion through acts of generosity, friendship, and empathy. Thank you to all of our families for helping to promote this week. The students were so excited to share their random acts of kindness with their teachers and classmates.
Please look ahead at our calendar for all of the exciting events we have planned for our students and families!
Enjoy the three day holiday weekend!
Mr. Grilo
