MIND MASTERS WELLNESS WORKSHOP:
The Vincent Jackson Family Foundation's 3rd Annual Mind Masters Wellness Workshop is taking place on Sat., August 29th at Jefferson High School. This FREE program focuses on mental health and emotional strength among all middle school students (6th-8th grade) with additional programming for the parents. This year's event will include keynote sessions for both students and parents, as well as sessions on online safety and healthy use of social media.

Tinker Families: We would like to thank Security Forces for installing Bike Racks across the street from the school. All bikes and scooters MUST be parked in this area before students come over the crosswalk at FORTRESS. No bikes or scooters will be permitted on Tinker Property (any property on the opposite side of the baseball fields). Also, please remind your students that MacDill AFB does have policies about helmets being worn while riding bicycles and scooters and age limits for motorized vehicles (to include e-bikes). Please see the MacDill AFB rules and regs for keeping kids safe. We look forward to having a SAFE and wonderful school year!
