Trailblazers,

I want to thank you again for your support of our Apex fundraiser. The final count is in and we raised over $34,000. Our innovation lab will now have robotics for all students to learn and create, more outdoor learning equipment especially for the younger students, adding books for 2nd-5th grade to use for literacy circles and all classrooms will be adding items from their wish list. We are very appreciative and can't wait to see our students enjoying it all!

Next week is custodian appreciation week. We have two hard-working custodians keeping our school clean. (We are currently down one custodian so it is a large load.) It would be great if your child could write a note of thanks or draw a picture to give to them.

We hope to see everyone at the Grove on Monday, Oct. 4th for Tarvin PTA Spirit Night 5PM to 10PM.

Together in Learning,

Christy Hilbun

The Reflections Program encourages children to find their own voice through various mediums of artistic expression. With this year's theme, "I Will Change The World By...", students are encouraged to make their message clear through dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography, and visual arts. Entry forms will be available in the front office and the Tarvin PTA Facebook page. All entries must be turned in no later than October 31. Students can turn in their projects, with their registration form to our Reflections submission bin in the community room or by email to tarvinptaarts@gmail.com. All entries will be reviewed in November and selected projects will be advanced to the regional level of judging. Questions? Contact tarvinptaarts@gmail.com. For more information: click here.
