Your student has been working really hard on a special art project at school, and they can’t wait to show it to you! Our school has teamed up with Art to Remember. They transfer student artwork onto keepsake products like mugs, phone cases, and necklaces.
Your student will be bringing home an order form with THEIR artwork printed on the cover. You can order from over 50 products featuring their work. The keepsakes also make great gifts for family and friends. Plus, every purchase helps raise money for our school's art program!



Mrs. Streeter's and Mrs. Tinberg's kindergarten classes enjoyed some fun Election Day activities yesterday! The students voted on their favorite cookie. The candidates were Oreo and chocolate chip! Each student cast their ballot for their favorite cookie and the results were tallied. In Mrs. Streeter's class, Oreos won! In Mrs. Tinberg's class, chocolate chip cookies won. The students enjoyed both cookies at the end of the day! 🍪🍪🍪 #tongienation





Ms. Deters's first grade class and Ms. Scheidt's fifth grade class have partnered together to create a reading buddies program! The students really enjoy it, and we love seeing the older students mentor their younger peers! 📚✨
