Dear TSB Families:

Spring has sprung! TSB is buzzing with activity this month as we bring the 2016-17 school year to a close. See the calendar page of this newsletter for a listing of the activities. With all of the extra activities going on, awards day, field day, prom, graduation, etc., it is very easy for our students to “let up” on their school work. However, grades in May are just as important as grades the rest of the year. Please discuss with your child the importance on continuing to do their school work and to do it well.

Hi Everyone!

With one month of school year left we are busier than ever! The Easter Egg Hunt was a blast for our younger students, and we owe a huge THANK YOU to the older students who came out to lend a hand to help the little ones find eggs! The young cottages also enjoyed an evening of flying kites with the ladies from Delta Gamma! We are all taking full advantage of this wonderful weather as we head towards the summer! May 11th will be a busy day as we get our juniors and seniors ready for Prom!
