Principal's Message
Thomas families,
What an exciting week it’s been at Thomas Elementary!
A wonderful art show on Tuesday night (thank goodness the weather held out!), second grade Wax Museum presentations, and the opportunity to view a solar eclipse on Monday.
Thank you to the PTO for providing every student at Thomas with glasses for viewing the eclipse. The kids (and grown-ups!) are excited to view this once-in-a-lifetime event in Central Ohio. As a reminder, there is no school on Monday.
Go Tigers,
Melissa Garris

ART SHOW SUCCESS
Thank you to all of the families who attended the art show. Your support means the world to the incredible artists we have here at Thomas. The show was a massive success and it was wonderful to get to talk to so many of you. I'm looking forward to doing it again next year.
For anyone who would still like to purchase framed artwork, the online gallery will run through Monday. Any purchases made will be shipped to the school in approximately two weeks. I will distribute the frames to students when they arrive.
-Mr. Stoller
