Tuckahoe Elementary School

🌸 Mrs. Albis and Mrs. Rowe’s classes and Mrs. Rettie and Mrs. Doggett’s classes got together to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month! They created flores de papel, or paper flowers, which are used as art, decorations, on cakes or as souvenirs in Hispanic culture. They loved learning and creating with their buddies!

Thank you Ros Runner for coming to Tuckahoe today! Our 2nd graders loved learning about being a Meterologist! 😀

THANK YOU TUCKAHOE ELEMENTARY 😀 Today I had the pleasure of going to speak with 2nd graders at Tuckahoe Elementary School in Henrico County! Another fantastic group of young people who were well behaved and asked some really good questions!

Big thank you to the teachers, administration, and staff who were so welcoming! I had a blast and always enjoy sharing my love of the weather with students!!!! 😀 I will be giving them a big shout out tonight on NBC12 News at 5:30 pm.

A major shoutout to Quinn, Brek, Ella, Ryan, Heis, Mrs. Mink, and Ms. Roy for representing Tuckahoe at the Learning exhibition on Wednesday night. Thousands of people attended the event from our community to see the projects from each of the elementary, middle and high schools. Students from all over Henrico talked about their learning and how the projects helped them develop skills for their future. Our Tuckahoe students used their communication skills to be global citizens and help bring awareness to communities that don't have access to water. Way to go Tuckahoe!
