Tadlock Elementary
9-22-17
It was a great week at Tadlock! We had a visit from the Mustang Creek Nursing Home residents. They donated our beautiful new planters and helped the kids plant flowers. It was a joy to watch the residents and kids work together. We learned that many of our kids don't know how to plant flowers. It's a great activity to do with your child if you haven't considered it. We also had photo day and the kids looked fantastic! Thursday night was our annual WATCHDOG pizza night. A big thank you goes out to all the dads who join us every year at school as a WATCHDOG, It makes a big difference at our school to have so many dads involved! I hope you will take a minute to scroll through our weekly newsletter to ensure you know about all the opportunities available to help and for your child to participate in. The calendar for the month of October is also included. Thanks for working with us to make a difference for kids!
