February 17th , 2023
Dear Tumwater Families,
Please remember that our schools are closed on Monday & Tuesday for Presidents Day and Mid-Winter Break. I hope you have time to relax, unwind, and spend time with those you care about doing the things you love.

Tumwater Hill Trail Stewards
Way to go Tumwater Hill 5th graders in Mr. Nulist's class. They recently adopted a City trail and have been hard at work on their first project. During the year they will help maintain the trail by picking up trash, pulling ivy, and planting bulbs and wildflowers seed. Community service, outside education, science, etc. - there are so many wonderful learning opportunities in this project. Way to go THE Hawks!

South End Strings Festival
Congratulations and GREAT JOB to our budding musicians. On February 8th, our EOE, LRE, PGS, BMS, and THS orchestras came together for an area-wide concert! Because of our incredibly talented music teachers, our students are inspired to do their best as they learn the love of music.
