These ladies teach our oldest tigers and prepare them for middle school. Thank you to Ms. Butcher, Ms. Price, Mrs. Fanning, and Mrs. Yount!

Thanks to these lovely ladies who teach our littlest tigers each day! Our kindergarten team this year is made up of Mrs. Hanna, Mrs. Eubanks, and Mrs. Perkins.

We love our TJ 2nd grade teachers--Ms. Lee, Mrs. Brundige, Ms. Kerr, and Mrs. Haak!
Yesterday was National Speech Language Pathologist Appreciation Day, so we'd like to recognize Mrs. Sampson and Ms. Neal. Thank you both for all you do for our TJ Tigers!


This special group of ladies make up our activity team, and we couldn't be more grateful! Say hello to Mrs. Bush (music), Mrs. McConnell (library), Ms. Salley (digital literacy), Ms. Neal (PE), Mrs. Beaird (library aide), Mrs. Baker (art), Mrs. Hume (intervention), and Mrs. Shock (global connections).

Let's give a shout out to our amazing first grade team--Ms. Bobbitt, Mrs. Hammitt, and Mrs. Simmons. Thanks for all you do!
It was the perfect day for science in the garden! Mrs. Shock showed students in Mrs. Fanning's fourth grade class how to construct solar ovens to deepen their understanding of energy transformation. Students observed how solar energy transforms into thermal energy, which then transforms into chemical energy when a delicious s'more is eaten. Who knew science could be so tasty!





Check out our BOGO sale tomorrow at our last school store of the year!

Have you met Mrs. Dewey (literacy coach) and Mrs. Helton (math coach)? These ladies work behind the scenes, but they help our teachers to deepen their knowledge of curriculum and improve their instructional practices. They are rockstars!
