We made a boo-boo last week and didn't make a post about our amazing TJ boo-boo fixer! Happy belated School Nurse Appreciation day to the best of the best, Nurse Tori. We appreciate you and all that you do for our students and staff each day!
Last week, students in Global Connections took a 'trip' to Egypt where they explored ancient landmarks and artifacts, and learned how the Nile River makes life possible in the desert. Learning was brought to life in activity stations where students played the role of archaeologist (Dig it!), decoded a message written in hieroglyphics (Glyph it!), constructed a pyramid (Build it!), or played the ancient African count and capture game known as Mancala (Play it!). We love seeing our students learn - even if things get a bit messy!
Today is School Lunch Hero Day! We are so thankful for our cafeteria staff. They always have a friendly smile and a warm meal for our TJ tigers!
Our character word of the month is INITIATIVE! How do you take initiative at school and at home, TJ Tigers?
Happy National Parks Week! This week in Global Connections, students learned about these special places along with our responsibility to Leave No Trace. Check out the creativity on some of our first grader's park ranger vests: flashlights, water bottles, first aid kits, walkie talkies. They have what they need to help visitors explore parks safely and responsibly. And, if you have a 4th grade student at T.J., be sure to check their backpack. Each 4th grader received a pass for FREE admission to a national park over the Summer!
Next week is Bike to School Week! Grab your helmet and pedal your way to TJ!
Happy Administrative Professionals Day to the three friendly faces who keep our TJ office running efficiently! We appreciate all you do for our TJ students, staff, and families!

Congratulations to our TJ Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Yount, and TJ Classified Staff of the Year, Mrs. Shock! We are thankful to have both of these wonderful ladies as members of our TJ family!
Tomorrow, the ice cream truck will visit TJ and our tigers will have their choice of a mini Klondike Bar, Jolly Rancher Popsicle, or no-sugar-added Fudgsicle (*menu subject to change). If your tiger has dietary restrictions or these frozen treats aren't a suitable option for your child, please feel free to send a special snack in your child's backpack. Thanks for your generosity, Breyers Icecreamman!
