Principal's Message
Thomas Families,
Today we held a TIGER Assembly with the theme of “Finish Strong”. With the end of the school year comes warmer weather, fun events, and lots of schedule changes. We challenged our students to continue to be the best versions of themselves throughout these changes! Our Every Student Counts committee created this hype video to remind Thomas students to finish strong.
Congratulations to the students in the TIGER Spotlight this month! See the picture below.
Hope to see you at Tiger Family Fun Night tonight!
Go Tigers,
Melissa Garris
