What a rootin’ tootin’ good time at tonight’s Mother–Son Dance!

The boots were scootin’, the hats were tippin’, and the dance floor at TES was FULL of smiles, laughter, and some mighty fine moves! Thank you to all of our moms, sons, volunteers, and staff who helped make tonight such an unforgettable western hoedown.

But hold your horses… the fun ain’t over yet!

The Daddy–Daughter Dance rides into town tomorrow night!
Grab your boots, round up your favorite cowboy or cowgirl, and join us for another night of dancing, memories, and western fun at TES!

Same place. Same western spirit. More memories waiting to be made.

🔐📚 Reading just leveled up! Students in Mrs. Maize & Mrs. Euler’s 5th grade classes tackled a reading escape room this morning — solving clues, cracking codes, and racing the clock. Literacy + teamwork + FUN = a winning combination! 🧠✨

Energy was HIGH when our former Braves — now FCCLA leaders at TMS — visited Mrs. Olsen’s class! 🔥 They shared powerful messages about mental health, making smart choices, and positive leadership. Students inspiring students is what it’s all about!

Cupid called… and STUCO answered! 💘 Next week our STUCO crew is turning up the Valentine’s fun with their annual fundraiser — bringing Tootsie Pops 🍭, awesome stickers ✨, and ALL the sweet vibes to the hallways!

🎉🏈 Mrs. Missy’s class is getting football ready! 🏈🎉 Today we kicked off Super Bowl Sunday celebrations with our own version of football fries! 🍟✨ The kiddos loved tossing, stacking, and decorating their “plays” before enjoying their tasty creations — all while learning about teamwork and excitement for the big game!

Mrs. Brice's Kindergarten class had fun celebrating the 100th day of school! From making fruit loop necklaces with 100 fruit loops, to cup stacking with 100 cups, a fun day was had by all.

Students in Mrs. D's Kindergarten class are celebrating being 100 days smarter!

We loved seeing double the spirit today during the Great Kindness Challenge! 👯‍♀️❤️ We had to do a double take all day long—and loved every second of it.
Tomorrow’s theme: “Dream of a Kinder World” — PJ Day! 😴✨

So proud to celebrate our very own Michelle Smith! 🎉👏
