A note from Mrs. Cureton:

We had a great week celebrating our love for reading across campus this week! Next week, we continue celebrating reading with our Book Fair in the library and our Leader in Me Dream Night on Thursday, March 9th. We hope to see you there!


Leader in Me Dream Night: We are excited to have families out for our Leader in Me Dream Night on Thursday, March 9th from 5:30pm-6:30pm. Please mark your calendars to join us! We will be raffling off two awesome prize baskets for two families in attendance. We will be serving dinner to families in attendance at this event & the book fair will be open to visit!


Book Fair: Our spring book fair will be held this next week, March 6th-10th. During this time, families are welcome to visit the library to purchase books from the book fair. 

The book fair will be open to families at our Book Fair Breakfast Thursday(March 9th), from 7:15am-7:50am, and at our Leader in Me Dream Night, from 5:30pm-6:30pm, on Thursday, March 9th. Students will also be able to purchase from the book fair, on their own, during the school day. 


Early Release: We will have an early release day on Friday, March 10th. Students will be dismissed at 12:30pm so that teachers may attend professional learning in the afternoon. There will be no Boys and Girls Club services offered on this day. Please make plans to have your student picked up by 12:30pm as staff will be in professional learning after that time. 


Spring Break: Tyler ISD Spring Break is Monday, March 13th--Friday, March 17th. There will be no school during the break. Enjoy your time with family!

Have a great weekend!

-Sarah Cureton, Principal
