Today we said goodbye to a person that was everything Tuckaway aspires to be, Mary Jones. Mary was at Tuckaway from the beginning in 1971, and made the school feel like a second home for all the children that attended. Besides preparing home cooked meals every day for the children of Tuckaway-West, she also helped in the classrooms and in the office. The best description of “Miss Mary” can be read in an article written about her in the March, 1987 edition of Pre-K Today, attached to this posting.
Mary passed away last week at age 83. She touched the lives of many children during her time at Tuckaway… and many children of those children!
We miss you “Miss Mary”, but you will always have a place in the hearts of all that had the privilege of having you in their lives!

The Eagles and the Sparrows learn first hand how democracy works. In choosing a new Schoolage President, they asked candidates questions during a debate; study voter guides; took polls to determine voter's preferences; and finally cast their votes (parents and class bunny Flapjack were allowed to vote as well).

Ahoy, me hearties! T'is was Talk like a Pirate Day for the Eagles, and they learned about the history and lingo of the buccaneers of old. Of course, any pirate worth their salt will go searching for treasure and the Eagles did just that. Following a treasure map, the Eagles had to decipher riddles, navigate directions, and even triangulate shadows to find the lost b***y of Captain Shark Tooth.

Our Story
Located in the heart of Carytown, Ellwood House has been a staple of Fan life for over 20 years! Ellwood House's children come from diverse cultures and backgrounds, and its incredible and enthusiastic staff, directed by Cristin McKnight, truly love what they do. Strong family involvement adds to the community feel of Ellwood House, and parents often drop by for visits with their children during the day.
Ellwood House offers the largest private playground in the city, to allow your child to fully enjoy the outdoors in a secure environment. While Ellwood House does not have its own swimming pool, children visit other nearby Tuckaway schools two or three times a week during the summer to enjoy some fun pool time. Tuckaway's pools are carefully monitored by teachers and certified lifeguards, and Tuckaway provides swimming lessons at no additional cost.
Like all of the Tuckaway locations, Ellwood House's chef always provides family-style dining, with warm home-cooked meals prepared in its very own kitchen. All of Tuckaway's menus are prepared according to USDA guidelines.
When you visit Ellwood House, come to our main entrance around back next to the free parking deck.
