TBS Tiger Newsletter
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to our monthly newsletter, recapping the exciting events and activities that took place at our school throughout the month of April. Despite the rainy weather during Spring Break, we had a fantastic month filled with learning, growth, and community engagement.
Spring Break Recap:
Even though the weather didn't quite cooperate, we hope your children had a rejuvenating Spring Break filled with relaxation and fun activities. It's always nice to have a break to recharge before diving back into school routines.
HSA Mini-Courses:
Through our HSA mini-courses, our students explored various interests and talents. These courses allowed them to delve deeper into art, music, sports, and more, fostering their creativity and passion for learning.
Earth Day Celebration:
We celebrated Earth Day with a range of activities focused on environmental awareness and sustainability. From planting trees to learning about recycling and conservation, our students embraced the importance of taking care of our planet.
Gardening Success:
We are thrilled to announce that our gardening initiatives are flourishing! Thanks to Loew's generous contribution, we now have 10 new raised beds that are helping our students learn about gardening, sustainability, and the joy of growing their own food.
Autism Acceptance:
April was also Autism Acceptance Month, and we took this opportunity to celebrate neurodiversity and promote understanding and acceptance among our students. We organized activities and discussions to foster a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone.
Take Your Child to Work Day:
It was heartwarming to see so many of our staff members participate in Take Your Child to Work Day. Seeing families come together and share experiences in the workplace was a testament to our strong school community and the value we place on family involvement.
As we look forward to the month of May, we have exciting events and learning opportunities planned that will continue to enrich your child's educational journey. Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership in making our school a vibrant and nurturing environment for all students.
Yours in Tiger Spirit!
Kristen Higgins, Ed. D.
