Principal's Message
Hello Eagle families, did you know this is National Library Card Sign Up Month? I love the public library system. It's incredible the number of services they offer, from online classes, clubs and music, to research assistance, in person programming, and of course, lots and lots of books! If you don't have a public library card, you can sign up for one by clicking this link.
Here at TWS, we have lots of scholars who love reading. It makes me happy to see them reading each day. A public library card is a great way for them to have even more reading material at home.
The benefits of reading to children are well documented. I encourage you to read with your child every day. Another option is to check out audio books to play at home or in the car. This exposes your child to new vocabulary, allows them to hear how good readers sound when they read. If your child is older and prefers reading alone, that is fine too. Some families have reading time at home where everybody sits in the same room and reads their own book. However it looks in your family, I encourage you to make reading a part of your daily life.
Thank you all for your continued support and involvement. We have terrific scholars engaged and hard working. I appreciate all of your emails voicing questions, concerns and comments. My line is always open via email, ZOOM Meeting or school phone. Please don't ever hesitate to reach out.
Your Partner in Education,
Principal Dennis

Classroom Spotlight - Mr. None's 5th Grade Class
Historically Black Colleges and Universities
Presented by
Mr. None’s Fifth Grade Class
September 21, 2021
At the beginning of this school term students were introduced to the acronym HBCU which stands for Historically Black Colleges and Universities. As their teacher it’s my desire that all my students be well educated and informed. Post-secondary education is one the most important components in the success of an individual. Attending college isn’t just for the academics which is the main goal but also, it’s an experience. With this project I hope to instill in my students the importance to reach for their dreams and soar for greatness. It’s not where you’re from but it’s where you’re going. I believe that if my students of color know of both their rich history and tumultuous past as a race of people then this will cultivate a mindset of gratitude, appreciation and motivation to excel and persevere in the midst of adversity and sometimes rejection.
Great Day at the Aquarium!

Volunteer Opportunities
To prevent the risk of COVID spread at school, we are not having parents to volunteer for positions that have direct contact with scholars during the school day. We do however have opportunities available for families to support. We love help with copying and re-shelving books, as well as help prepping teaching materials etc . I encourage you to reach out to your child's teacher or your PTO to find out ways you can be involved!
