🎉 Hawk Talk Thursday! 🎉

Alright Tilden families… it’s time for a holiday debate! 😄

🎄 When do you officially start decorating for the holidays?
AND…
🧹 When do you finally call it quits and pack it all away?

Are you a before Thanksgiving decorator?
A December 1st is the only correct answer family?
Or does your tree somehow stay up until February? 👀😂

💬 Drop your decorating start AND end dates in the comments!
No judgment… just holiday vibes. ✨

Today was full of festive cheer as students and staff dressed up as their favorite Christmas characters — the halls were merry and bright! 🎅🎁

To make the day even sweeter, we had a special visit from Mrs. Fink’s cousin straight from the North Pole — Auntie Jingle Fink! 🧝‍♀️❄️ She popped into classrooms spreading holiday joy and delivering a special sweet surprise to our amazing teachers.

❄️ A Winter Break Message for Our Tilden Families ❄️

As we head into the December winter break, we want to take a moment to say thank you for being such an important part of our Tilden community. Together, we’ve built strong routines and a culture of showing up that helps every child feel connected and supported. 💙

We know this season is full of excitement and busy schedules, and we truly appreciate your efforts to keep students in school right up until break begins. Our teachers will be teaching and our students will be learning all the way through December 19th, with classes resuming on January 5th.

Every school day matters. When students are healthy and able to attend, they continue to learn, spend time with friends, and grow both academically and socially. 📚✨

Using the school calendar to plan ahead helps set our students up for success, and your partnership makes a big difference. Thank you for supporting learning and helping your children stay connected to school.

We’re grateful for you and wish your family a joyful start to the winter season! 💫
