Second Grade Thanksgiving Lunch was another success.





First grade Thanksgiving lunch was a huge success.








These students are our first winners of Habit 2: Beginning with the End in Mind. These students were nominated for having a plan, working to achieve the plan, making corrections- not excuses when facing a struggle, and giving a HOOT about their future. We are so proud of them! Please congratulate Erica Moore, Charlotte Kirk, Austin Henson, and Bryer Little (not pictured). Tate Bulldogs practice habits to become great student leaders!


Shout out to our "Head Turkey." Mrs. Gina and her cafeteria staff are amazing. They will be cooking Thanksgiving Dinner all week this week so every grade level can have a peaceful meal with their children. It is a lot of hard work and she always does it with a smile. If you see her this week, please let her know how thankful you are for her! If anyone deserves a shoutout, it's her!
