Tonganoxie Elementary School

Big thanks to Miss M for stepping in and helping run the show today! After winning the chance to be Principal for the Day during the Tonganoxie Education Foundation’s Give Day, she took her duties very seriously - checking classrooms, helping students, and making sure the other principals stayed out of trouble. We’re lucky to have such awesome students willing to jump in, lead, and make TES even more fun. Thanks for a great day, Miss M!

Students in Ms. Kim's morning preschool and Mr. Jones sixth grade class shared in fun reading activities throughout the year. What a great journey in learning for both groups! #tong464 #tongienation

A huge thank you to Human Animal Bond for being such special visitors this year! 🐾 Each month, they spent time with our TES students, bringing encouragement, smiles, and a love of reading.

We loved wrapping up the year with Theo, Blake, and Lottie as our final visitors. 💛 Thank you for brightening our days and supporting our readers—we can’t wait to see you again next year!

5th grade families! Your sneak peek into middle school is almost here! Future Warrior Night is tomorrow at 5:30 PM in the TMS gym! Think of it as a “preview night” for all things middle school. It's a chance to help our future Warriors feel ready and pumped for what’s next. See you there!

Congratulations to Mr. Brice on being named Tonganoxie Elementary’s 2027 Teacher of the Year! He was recognized today at the Kansas Region 2 Teacher of the Year Awards Banquet. From inspiring students to lifting up colleagues, this recognition is well deserved and then some. #TongiePride #TeacherOfTheYear

Virtual Art Show & Fine Arts Night

Hello! We are excited to announce that the online portion of the art show is available. This is the Artome (framed artwork) portion of the art show. You can order your student's framed artwork and either pick it up at Fine Arts Night or we will send it home with your student the week following Fine Arts Night. This is the art fundraiser portion of Fine Arts Night.

Here is the link for the online portion: https://artomestore.com/collections/tonganoxieelementary66086

You can share your student's framed art piece with family and friends.

We hope you will join us for Fine Arts Night on Friday, April 24th from 5:30-7 pm. Here you will see the framed art exhibit, ceramics exhibit, mini-glow gallery exhibit, and additional artwork. Each student will have a minimum of two pieces of art in the art show (most students have more). New this year is a collaborative Artwork exhibit.

Choristers will be providing music for the evening and will also host a bake sale.

We are so excited to show off our students' work. Hope to see you there!

Ms. Cornwell's class had the opportunity to connect with pen pals from North Macedonia. Students shared information about themselves and our school!

Mrs. Olsen’s 4th grade students put their money skills to the test with a fun in-class auction! 💰 From budgeting to making smart spending choices, they learned real-life lessons while bidding on exciting items. Hands-on learning at its best!

Mrs. Pisani's 3rd grade class took on the challenge of building a seawall to protect coastal communities from storm surge. While not everyone was successful in keeping water out, the teamwork they showed was amazing!

Check out our ceramics display in the Commons hallway display cases and the mixed media work and glow gallery in the Commons Trophy case.

Thank you for supporting our students' creativity. When students present their artwork, they are working on one of their Visual Arts standards. They are excited to show you what they have created. We hope to see you there!
