Bundle up, TJ Tigers! Students in Global Connections recently learned about the coldest, windiest, and driest place on Earth: the continent of Antarctica! We learned how the animals who call Antarctica home can survive the extreme cold, and we also learned about the important work that scientists at McMurdo Station are doing to help protect them.
It was a joy for our TJ students and staff to get to honor veterans who are special to them today at lunch! Thank you Veterans for your service!

Watch out George Washington and Abe

filled with children who will go down in history

dedicating the whole month to the Big Idea of
integrity, choosing to be truthful in whatever
we say and do!
