From our Fabulous PTO
Greetings Tanglen families!
*One out of three students is registered for our Acts of Kindness fundraiser...and we would LOVE to grow that number! Did you know this is how the Tanglen PTO pays for ALL field trips for your students? That's NO small feat!
If you haven't already- please use this link to get registered with Raise Craze!
Fueled by acts of kindness, this is our main fundraiser for the year, and how the PTO pays for all our events like the Block Party, Bingo night, staff appreciation, and student field trips! Every dollar helps!
Check out our leaderboard here! We've completed 222 Acts of Kindness and raised almost $20K from 34 states with just over a week to go! KEEP IT UP!! Do you know anyone in these grey states? Send them your fundraising link to help us get to 50 states! Even $1 counts!
*We want to welcome volunteers back into the building! Sign up using this link for a time that works for you and we'll reach out to coordinate the details of your volunteer slot. Your students and their teachers benefit in so many ways from your involvement!

Student Nutrition changes for the 2022-23 School Year
The USDA has determined that school meals will NOT be free for all students for the 2022-23 school year. Therefore, a meal benefit application is required to obtain free or reduced meals. Meal applications for the 2022-23 school year are available on the Nutrition page in the Free Meals & Food Assistance tab. You can also find breakfast and lunch menus and pricing for paid meals on your child’s school website.
Although lunch is no longer free, a reimbursable USDA FREE BREAKFAST is available for all students at L.H. Tanglen Elementary School this year.
Please encourage a healthy start to the day with a FREE nutritious breakfast to fuel our students' brains.
