Patriot Family Gazette 5/3/24

Patriot Families,

We wrapped up the last few days of April and started May off with a bang, welcoming our Tyler Senior graduates today back to Jack for a memorable last walk around their elementary campus. It was great seeing all of their smiling faces and hearing the cheers of our Patriots as they "Begin with the End in Mind," thinking about how to accomplish that goal. Next week is Teacher appreciation week as we spoil our wonderful staff daily with tokens of appreciation and notes of kindness. Please see the memo below on the themed days. We will also be celebrating Leadership and Career Day and Night on Thursday! What a great opportunity to engage with your Patriot and learn about the 7 Habits! Come out for a night of fun on May 9th from 5:30-7:00. There will be food trucks, music, and more! Please see the complete calendar below for all May events and pay close attention to grade level newsletters about dates on end of year events and celebrations.

Thank you for all you do to support our Mission of Building Leaders of Tomorrow and we look forward to a great last 3 weeks of school!

Have a great weekend,

Brett Shelby

How can you purchase baseball merchandise specific for Tyler Legacy? The link below is a store the baseball team has set up selling spirit gear and items are available in youth sizes. The online store includes specifics for delivery to each school and a baseball booster club member will deliver the items to each elementary/middle school once the orders come in should your students order. We are currently exploring options to have a Future Red Raiders program with baseball. Thanks so much!
