Dear Tuffree community,
The good vibes and spirit was alive and in full effect this week. I hope all families had fun, safe halloween festivities. I know we did.
For 8th grade families, all high school showcases are around the corner and begin next week. More information on specific showcases can be found at the bottom of this newsletter. Remember that daylight savings is this weekend, so remember to plan accordingly. Enjoy the weekend Falcon Families!
Enthusiastically,
