Principal's Message
Top of the Morning to our Tinc Road School Families,
The Leprechauns wreaked havoc on our Kindergarten and First grade classrooms today and somehow eluded the students' creative leprechaun traps. Reports circulated that the mischievous leprechauns had found their way inside Miss Lim's Music classroom as Irish melodies and dancing could be heard throughout the school in celebration of St. Patrick's Day!
March is Nutrition Month! Check out our latest Health Office Newsletter for Nutrition information to keep your family healthy during this final month of winter!
We hope everyone has a fantastic time at the Glow Dance this evening and don't forget our Choose to Include week begins next week with Neon Day Monday! See our Schedule of events below for this awesome inclusive week!
