Parents and Students,
Wow, what a fantastic SHOWCASE of our students this past week! If your child participated in the District PE Showcase, please know how proud we are of them. I was proud to be THE’s principal. Our students did a wonderful job showing off their talents and promoting fitness.

T.H.E. PTA Presents … MAGIK THEATRE (newsletter omission)
The Magik theatre on the road team brought experience and an exciting personal touch to each of the Tuscany Heights students on February 6th. The experience started for our students when they entered the cafeteria and discovered a real theatre inside their school.
This time Magik Theatre brought two different shows, the first show called Rumpelstilskin and the second one called Dr. Krashunbang. The first show was presented for kinder, first and second graders and the second show for third, fourth and fifth graders. Introducing students to the process of creating a work of performing art, the actors gave great, fun and creative shows.
Rumpelstilskin began when the king has locked Gabby in a straw-filled room, with orders to spin gold or lose her head! When a crafty man with a secret name offers to help, Gabby makes him a promise she isn’t prepared to keep. Now Gabby has three days to guess the man’s name. What students take away from watching this wonderful performance is that you never make any promises that you are not prepare to keep.
Dr. Krashundbang is an interactive one-man show that seamlessly blends science and theatre into an exhilarating lesson through experimentation and humor. With his exciting and mostly harmless experiments Dr. Krashundbang demonstrated the scientific method and brought the physical science to Tuscany Heights. The kids had so much fun and also they could reinforce what they have been learning through the year.
Throughout the shows, the students had a great time laughing and learning at the same time. We believe that the type of shows that we have been able to bring to Tuscany Heights have been great for our kids because they have helped awaken their love for writing, drawing, performing, sculpting, dancing, composing, and creating; all integral parts of a well - rounded individual.
NEISD Used Book Sale Donation Drive
The NEISD Used Book Sale is coming up the weekend of April 10th - 12th. Tuscany Heights PTA will be collecting books throughout the month of March (which also happens to be the month that Dr. Seuss was born back in 1904!). Every child who donates will be given a Dr. Seuss spirit stick. The top 20 donators in the school will be given a gift certificate to the Scholastic Book Fair in May. If we can reach a school-wide participation goal of 25%, Mrs. Bailey and Mrs. McCurry have agreed to spend a day dressed as Thing 1 and Thing 2. So help us reach our goals, and clean off those bookshelves! Watch for a flyer to come home with your child with the details.
Driving Education to the Top Award – Kidsville News
It is that time of the year when we are looking for teacher nominations for the Driving Education To The Top Award sponsored by Alamo Toyota. The first place teacher will receive a field trip for his or her class and $1,000 for the teacher. The more creative one gets or the more we hear about a teacher from students and parents, to even nominations from Principals, the more of an impact it makes for a teacher to stand out. Kidsville News will be recognizing an additional 5 teachers who will receive a plaque, recognition in Kidsville News and some wonderful gifts. This is the third year of this great teacher recognition program. The deadline is March 31. See attached form for nominations that can be passed on. - Gina Barbera, Kidsville News
