TJ Tigers are better together! In March, we'll focus on cooperation!
Join us at Crystal Bridges on Sunday for our All Bentonville Reads celebration!
The snow is coming down now, but just last week our TJ Tigers were dreaming of Spring in the city of light and love: Paris, France! If only we were strolling down the Champs-Élysées, stopping for a croissant (and some cheese!) at a sidewalk cafe, and taking a ride to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Le sigh... We hope you're staying safe and warm, and perhaps planning your next adventure.

We had so much fun celebrating our new name and announcing our new mission statement to our TJ Tigers at the school-wide assembly on Friday, 1/31. Shout out to all of our student leaders who helped make the announcement special. Thank you to the U of A Razorback Cheer Team & Mascot for joining our fun-filled celebration!
We can't wait to see the great things in store for students, staff, and families at Thomas Jefferson Leadership Academy!
Happy National School Counseling Week to Mrs. Moore! We are so thankful that you are a part of our TJ family and appreciate all the work you do for our tiger cubs.
Our character word of the month is UNIQUENESS. Here are some ways you can show uniqueness:
• Tell each person in your family why you think they are unique.
• Ask your parents if you can choose your own clothes to show your uniqueness.
• Have a family art night. Plan out the activity and create something together. Remember to celebrate each other’s ideas for the project.
G'day, Mate! Our TJ Tigers just returned from a visit to Oceania. We began in mainland Australia where students learned about Aboriginal culture and native wildlife. Some of our more adventurous students also tried Vegemite! Then, we explored the world's largest living structure - The Great Barrier Reef. We ended in New Zealand where students learned about Maori culture. They also learned why New Zealand has the world's largest population of flightless birds. Stay tuned for pics from our next destination in Asia!
Our kindergarten students had a royal celebration of learning at their king and queen day today!
We had so much fun celebrating the 100th Day of School at Thomas Jefferson Leadership Academy!
Tomorrow is the 100th day of school! If you'd like to dress up to celebrate, you may wear 100 things on your shirt or dress like you are 100 years old. Even if you don't dress up, you'll still be 100 days smarter!
Thomas Jefferson Leadership Academy is hosting a community presentation tonight, 1/22, to share more about our Leadership Academy and Parent Choice option for families in Bentonville Schools. We hope you can join! The event will take place at 6:00 pm in the TJ Cafeteria.
Some of our first grade students have been participating in a Reader's Theatre called "Walking Under the Stars". They have been practicing their script for a while and got to perform it for one another this week during their enrichment block. Great job first grade!
Thank you to Dan Skoff and KNWA for hosting our 3rd graders at the news station yesterday! They had a fun-filled day of learning and they are TV stars! See the video here: https://www.nwahomepage.com/video/thomas-jefferson-elementary-3rd-grade-knwa-field-trip/10370060/
A snow day seems appropriate since students learned about the continent of Antarctica in Global Connections this week! While playing in the snow, perhaps your TJ tiger is imagining that they're Roald Amundsen - the famous Norwegian explorer who led the first successful expedition to the South Pole. Or maybe they're waddling around and sliding on their bellies, pretending to be one of the eight species of penguins that call Antarctica home. Either way, we hope you're having fun making snow day memories!
