TJL pride
Good morning TJL Families,

It’s hard to believe we’ve reached the final week of the school year! We’re looking forward to celebrating our 5th graders at Monday’s Moving-Up Ceremony—what a special milestone! As the week continues, please note that Thursday will be an early dismissal day, and Friday marks the official last day of school.

Wishing you a fantastic week ahead,

Mrs. Washington
