Our Pre-K students completed their “bus tour” today in preparation of an upcoming field trip.

They learned about bus safety, buckling and unbuckling seatbelts, railroad crossings, as well as bus rules and etiquette!

Before their tour of the bus, they read “Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus” (which was also part of their Authors unit this week).

Shoutout to Mr. Almich for his help!

Last week, Fifth grade Homeroom completed a hexagonal thinking activity to better understand all of the connections they share and get to know one another better. They successfully found connections between all students as well as homeroom teachers, Ms. Patterson and Ms. Ellison!

Happy First Day of School to our entire Cavalier Community!

We got the 34th year of TJ started off on the right foot with our annual Flag Raising Ceremony! We introduced the Class of 2027, said the Pledge of Allegiance, sang the Star Spangled Banner, and our Seniors greeted every student in grades Pre-K through 11th on their “Last First Day”!

Welcome back, Cavs! We missed you!

Happy Last First Day to the Class of 2027 (tied for TJ’s largest-ever class)!
