Thank you to the TJLA PTO for a wonderful Fall Festival event last night! Thank you to all of our TJLA families and students who participated in the Kiss a Pig Fundraiser! As always, we had a blast watching the teachers who won for each grade level participate. Thank you to our teachers for being such great sports!

10 pm is the deadline for the Kiss a Pig Fundraiser with PTO. Thanks to all who have participated!

📢 We hit our first goal of $3,000! We can't wait to see Mr. Tim Kiss A Pig at Fall Fest 💋🐷
🤞If we want to see Mrs. Cates and Mrs. Carlson join him on the stage, we need to raise another $2,000 before 10 p.m. tonight! Click here to donate: 👉 bit.ly/TJKAP26 👈
🛝 Brundige overtakes A. Lee for the 2nd grade recess honors!
🍕 Johnson still holds the overall lead for Most Funds Raised and rights to the pizza party

Don't forget - these funds go directly back to our TJLA students and staff. We're hoping to make some great (and overdue) playground improvements this year, provide ample enrichment activities for our classrooms and ensure every teacher feels appreciated throughout the year - they deserve it!

Earlier this month, our 4th graders wrapped up their writing unit with a special Book Cafe Day at TJ! Students gathered with classmates to share their personal narratives while enjoying donuts and “coffee” (chocolate milk). Students gave one another feedback and celebrated each other’s hard work on their narrative writing. Way to go 4th grade writers!

What a wonderfully curious way to wrap up our Classic Tales unit! Last week, third graders stepped into the world of Wonderland with a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. They revisited favorite stories, put their context-clue skills to work, and tackled a digital escape room.
