Bailey's Bulletin
Parents,
What a fantastic week! From Pre-K Story time with Dr. Gottardy to Kinder Roundup to 2nd grade gardening, we have certainly smiled a lot this week. Thank you to our fabulous staff and THE families for bringing our community together for a fun week.
We are thrilled to share the recent approval for Tuscany Heights Elementary to host Pre-K for the 2019-2020 school year. That's right! We just received noticed this week that our campus will house our very own PreK (3-4 year olds) Class. Please see more information below on the criteria for eligibility. Since this is NEW NEWS, help us pass the word around. Bring on the little ones!
I would like to invite you to be part of our Parent Teacher Association in the coming school year. We love our volunteers, and we are looking forward to building another strong team for the 2019-20 school year. See information below under PTA.
Proud Principal,
Tara Bailey

Kids Heart Challenge
The Kids Heart Challenge, which was formerly known as the Jump Rope for Heart/Hoops for Heart, fundraiser will be kicking off on Friday, February 22nd. The Kids Heart Challenge is a fun and exciting event where your student learns about their heart while helping others and raising money for the American Heart Association. The Kids Heart Challenge prepares your child for success through physical and emotional well-being. Tuscany has a goal this year to raise $6,500! Students will earn prizes for each donation milestone met. The more money that is raised to help the American Heart Association, the more money Tuscany’s P.E. program will receive back in gift certificates to purchase new equipment and resources to benefit all students in P.E. To prepare for the kick-off, Coach Kaufman and Coach Fonger will be selling jump ropes personalized and cut to fit each individual students size. Sales will be in the morning between 7:15 and 7:40 in the front office for $5.00 each. They will be selling them for the remainder of the month and students will be able to use them during P.E. and recess! The coaches are looking forward to spending time with the students focusing on promoting health and wellness while helping to save the lives of others through fundraising and jump roping.

Lost and Found!
Please be sure to label your child's belongings...lunch boxes, water bottles, sweaters, jackets, backpacks, etc., this makes it easy for us to return lost items to students so that they don’t end up in our overflowing lost and found.

Calling all Student Volunteers!
Does your student volunteer at Tuscany Heights through patrols, broadcasting, library lifesavers or any other leadership position? Does your student do community service through scouts or your church? Does your student volunteer at any organizations such as a food bank or animal shelter? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, we want to know so we can acknowledge your child! If you already have an account at the Presidential Volunteer Service Award (PVSA) website then don't forget to log your child's hours. If you are new to logging hours, please create a PVSA account for your Tiger so you can start logging. Full instructions can be found on the Tuscany Heights PTA website:
