📗 Getting students “Life Ready” takes a village. At TES, our students are at the center of all we do. Henrico County Public Schools created the Henrico Learner Profile (HLP) to model how it takes all of us to help our students reach their full potential. Look for more information this month!
What we do today, DOES make a difference! 💚

👍🏼 Way to go, Cora!  Your Henrico History Project showed hard work and dedication! Thanks for representing Tuckahoe at Monday’s awards assembly!

👏🏼 Last week, our 5th graders had a visit from Career Ambassadors from ACE Center at Hermitage! They learned all about the opportunities available through the program, and heard from students participating in the Radio/Broadcasting and Cosmetology programs 📻✂️

🦃 The Tuckahoe Day Parade was a blast! Students showcased their creativity with their amazing floats again this year! We wish you all a happy Thanksgiving! See you in December!

🦁 What a wonderful morning at Tharros Unity Day! Tharros students gathered for a house breakfast hosted by our PTA, and we all discussed courage and crafted special cards and drawings for our community heroes!

💛 Tharros Unity Day is tomorrow! All students are encouraged to wear yellow! Students in Tharros are invited to attend a house breakfast in the cafeteria, and everyone will participate in an activity to honor local heroes in courageous professions. We are THARROS, hear us ROAR! 🦁
