Red Ribbon Week day five! Trunk or Treat was a success!

And a HUGE thank to our parents and our PTO. We couldn't do these events for our kids without our AMAZING PTO and our generous parents who either sent in candy or decorated their trunk and helped hand out candy!

I actually heard a new student say to another student, " This is the best day ever. I love this school." And that is why we do the things we do here at Tate and what makes us GREAT!
