Update from Mrs. Lomonico
Dear TGE Families,
As we step into the month of March at Toll Gate Elementary, I am thrilled to reflect on the incredible positive energy that defines our school community. Your dedication, support, and partnership with our outstanding teachers and staff truly make TGE a special place for our students to learn, grow, and thrive.
Our collective efforts are focused on a common goal: nurturing our students academically, socially, and emotionally, and preparing them for the next steps in their educational journey. It is heartening to witness the hard work and commitment from every member of our school community. Together, we are building a foundation that will empower our students to succeed not only in their academic pursuits but also in life.
This academic year, we continue to emphasize the importance of grit, stamina, and hard work. These essential traits, instilled in our students now, will undoubtedly serve them well as they face challenges and opportunities in the future. The resilience they develop today will be a guiding force in their growth as they progress through life.
A special note of appreciation goes to Cristy Stephenson and our dedicated teachers for orchestrating the delightful Kindergarten music performances. These events were not only a showcase of talent but a testament to the countless hours of preparation and dedication invested in making these moments memorable for our students and their families.
I am also thrilled to congratulate Bashton G. and Jo'Marie M-H., chosen by our staff as TGE's 2024 MLK recipients. These outstanding students embody the ideals and dreams of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and we are immensely proud of their achievements. Congratulations, Bash and Jo'Marie!
Lastly, don't miss the opportunity to showcase your Toll Gate Elementary pride with our exclusive TGE swag. Visit our online store https://logoimages.us/tollgategators/ for a fantastic selection of Toll Gate Elementary merchandise.
Thank you for being an integral part of our vibrant school community. Together, we make Toll Gate Elementary a place where dreams take flight.
Warm regards,
Erika Lomonico
