Watch out George Washington and Abe
Lincoln! After this month, our school will be
filled with children who will go down in history
for their inability to tell a lie, because we are
dedicating the whole month to the Big Idea of
integrity, choosing to be truthful in whatever
we say and do!
Happy School Custodian Appreciation day to Pam! Thanks for all you do for TJ!

We hope you can join us for our "Back to School Kickoff Event" tomorrow evening at TJ! We have a variety of events taking place inside the building from 4:30-8:00 p.m.
Beginning at 5, we'll have Kona Ice, William's Famous Fried Chicken & Soul Food, and Decigas food trucks set up near the back playground for families to purchase food or refreshments from. We will also have a DJ and a variety of activities on the back playground for students and families to enjoy. We invite you to bring a blanket or lawn chair to sit back and relax on the back playground in between grade-level sessions or training sessions. This is a great opportunity to get to know other families in our school community at TJ!
Check out the attached graphics for additional information or reach out to us in the comments with any questions you may have about the event.
Please note, there will be additional volunteer training opportunities offered throughout the year if you are unable to come to the volunteer training sessions being offered tomorrow night.
Recess, sleepovers, video games, Double

will pay off relationally for a lifetime!
