We wanted to share a few more pictures from our surprise visit from Dante Moore on Monday!

We are so grateful that Dante took time out of his busy schedule to visit TES, connect with our students, and spread such a positive message. His kindness, encouragement, and willingness to give back made a lasting impression on our school community. Thank you, Dante, for making our day so special!

We’re celebrating some amazing student achievement at Thurston Elementary! 🎉

A huge congratulations to Mrs. Orme’s 5th graders and Mrs. Federico’s 4th graders for meeting our schoolwide goal—80% or more of students hit their typical growth goal on the i-Ready winter diagnostic! That’s a big deal and a reflection of their hard work and dedication.

To help celebrate, Track Town Pizza generously donated 3 free pizzas and provided a very kind discount—thank you for supporting our students and community!

Way to go, students and teachers—we’re proud of you! 🍕👏

We are in great need for Family Fun Night parent/community volunteers. We are 2 weeks away (Friday May 8th) from the event and have 6 volunteers signed up. We need at least 100 volunteers to make this event a possibility! We have one more week to hit this number before we have to reconsider holding the event.
