Special Message from Mrs. Edison and the PTA
Thank you for all your hard work in collecting fundraisers for our read-a-thon so far. Here's the current update! So far, we have raised $1,000, this was our first school wide milestone which means that staff wore tu-tus on Friday to celebrate! If we reach our next benchmark of $5,000, Mrs. Hinkle (our music teacher) will get a pie in the face. Our overall goal is to raise $10,000! This money benefits our students and school community throughout the year. We appreciate your partnership in helping support all the wonderful learning and events Tualatin Elementary has.
