❤️🤍💙 Gratitude, Service & Community ❤️🤍💙

In remembrance of September 11 and in appreciation of our local first responders, the Tom Lea Student Ambassadors teamed up with Operation Gratitude to deliver a care package and some sweet treats to Fire Station #30.

Our students had the opportunity to personally thank our firefighters for all they do to serve and protect our community. In return, the firefighters gave our Student Ambassadors a special tour of the station and a closer look at the important work they do each day.

Experiences like this remind our students that kindness, gratitude, service, and unity help build a stronger community.

Thank you to Fire Station #30 for welcoming our students, and thank you to Operation Gratitude for helping us show our appreciation, and thank you to the Blanchard family for donating the sweet treats.

🫶It’s all about unity and community! 🐂

🇺🇸 Flags for First at Tom Lea Elementary! 🇺🇸

Today, we were honored to welcome La Société des Quarante Hommes et Huit Chevaux (V605.40et8) to Tom Lea Elementary for a special “Flags for First” presentation with our first-grade students.

Our students learned about the history of the American flag, what it represents, and proper flag etiquette.

To make the experience even more memorable, each first grader received a special surprise—their very own American flag to take home!🇺🇸

Thank you to our special guests for taking the time to educate our students and share the importance of honoring and respecting our nation’s flag. We appreciate your continued support of our students and school community!
