The bus driver shortage has impacted the TSC's ability to provide on-time transportation. Changing to a four-tier system will allow schools to operate with a sufficient number of drivers to meet needs.

The two winners are Kelli Waggoner from Klondike Elementary School and Amanda Beck from Harrison High School.

Fun was had by all on Tuesday, May 17th. Kindergarten classes participated in the very first Kindergarten Fun Day. Thanks to many parent volunteers it was a huge success. Kindergarten students rotated through ten stations outside on a beautiful sunny morning. Many of the stations were a big hit with the children including the water balloon toss, the rock, paper, scissors competition, parachute ball toss, and many more. The students also enjoyed playing with bubbles and decorating the front sidewalk at Mintonye with sidewalk chalk. The overwhelming favorite station was the llama stations. We had a llama students could pet and learn about! This school year is winding down and Kindergarten Fun Day was a great way to celebrate a wonderful end to the kindergarten year!

As the school year comes to a close, students in Mrs. Wise's third grade class finished their last class novel: Lemonade War.  They capped off the day with fun activities, such as: writing secret messages in lemon juice, making lemon scented playdough, and sampling different types of lemonade.  It was a fun way to wrap up a big year of reading in third grade!

Students in Ms. Schurman's kindergarten class worked on a new hideout for Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker in honor of May the 4th. Using the STEM ideology that they have worked on all year, students were able to choose items from the classroom to build a hideout. They needed 2 doors and a hiding spot inside the structure. Once complete we evaluated things that worked (glows) and things to work on (grows). It was a fun activity for al students, Star Wars fan or not!  

Together the school collected 3,400 perishable items.
