Patriot Family Gazette 12/3/23

Patriot Families,

Polar Express Read-a-thon is going STRONG. We’ve raised over $12,000 and read over 46,000 minutes! Prizes went out on Friday, so if you missed out, be sure to get your student registered here - https://www.getmovinfundhub.com/register...

Also, HUGE shout out to Big Lots, Lowes & Walmart for donating some of the Christmas trees our PTA set up in the building on Friday! They make our halls look so festive!

We have a busy few weeks ahead before the winter break so keep an eye on on important dates! This week will be having UIL signups in the cafe. Encourage your Patriot to participate in this fun academic event. Also, we have another drama performance at 6pm on Tuesday. Our theater club has worked extremely hard this year! Picture retakes are this week on December 6th, a PTA meeting on the 7th at 12pm, and spirit night at Chuck E. Cheese on Friday, December 8th from 3pm-9pm.

It's going to be another great week. Keep encouraging your Reader Leaders to log those minutes for the Polar Express Read-a-Thon. Don't forget to join us on December 12th for our Polar Express Reading Night at 6pm to collect some minutes as well!

Thanks again for all you do to support our campus and community!

How can you purchase baseball merchandise specific for Tyler Legacy? The link below is a store the baseball team has set up selling spirit gear and items are available in youth sizes. The online store includes specifics for delivery to each school and a baseball booster club member will deliver the items to each elementary/middle school once the orders come in should your students order. We are currently exploring options to have a Future Red Raiders program with baseball. Thanks so much!
