Parents,
Thank you for a great Red Ribbon Week!!!! We are so lucky to have a great PTA and Community! Thank you to Mrs. Ulestad and Mrs. Lombardi for all your efforts to create stronger BULLY AVENGERS here at Tuscany!
If you or a close family member to one of our students is a "VETERAN”, we would like to take the time to recognize them on November 11th. We are inviting our veterans to join us at Tuscany Heights Elementary at 8:30a.m. for a small service ceremony. We will have all students present and ask all veterans to be seated on the stage. From there, their students will introduce them; we will hear a special message from each grade level, and then closing remarks from administration. We will serve Hash browns for Heroes in the library following the ceremony. We ask all veterans and their students to join us there for a final "thank you" gesture for all the service you have provided for our country to honor us!
Please RSVP with the front office if you will be a veteran attending or a member of the family will be a veteran attending. Mrs. Jordan, [email protected] , will keep a list of all veterans in order for us to best prepare for food and gifts.
Don’t forget:
November 1st Reagan Cluster Football Game is honoring their cluster schools. They have invited us to join them by filling the stands for a game. We’d love to see you there! We are hoping to represent Reagan that night wearing our orange spirit shirt (another THE Shirt) and rounding up Tusky to run out on the field. Please join us!
Thank you,
Tara Bailey
