Happy Mother's Day to all! We had a fabulous time with the students that decorated cakes for their moms. I hope you all enjoyed receiving them! Being a mother is an exceptionally gift. Hope today was all about you!
Thank you for making our staff feel very appreciated this week! We have received so many kind words, acts of kindness, and gifts from our THE Family. We are proud to be educators for your children. Thank you!
MENU CHANGE: Tuesday, May 10th
Instead of bagel bites for the alternate lunch, we will serve double stuffed crust pizza.
We have the Presidential Volunteer Service Award coming soon. It will be held in the cafeteria this year on May 18, 2016 at 7:00a.m. We have about 70 students being recognized for their community service time. What amazing students we have here at Tuscany Heights Elementary!
Please note that we are not hosting end of the year parties since we did parties in December and February.
Thank you,
Tara Bailey

PTA News-
LOST and FOUND – Please check the rotunda to see if you can find something left behind by your students! Our volunteers have worked to get it sorted and organized by color. The temps are warmer – come find your sweaters and jackets before school is out and all items are donated to a local charity. All items that are labeled are rerouted to students to help find their way home. Be proactive – label your belongings.
