Scottsville's Tuesday Tiger Times
March 24, 2026
What an incredible weekend! If you walked by the school grounds over the last few days, you witnessed something truly special. Thanks to an outpouring of community spirit, our latest project is officially coming to life.
A Huge Thank You to our PTO
First and foremost, we want to extend a massive thank you to our PTO. This project began long before the first shovel hit the dirt. Our PTO members, notably Shelly Hamler, spent countless hours researching and writing the grants that secured the funding necessary to make this dream a reality. We also appreciate Steven Morris from Ballinger Creek Management Company for the concrete prep-work that made the work on Saturday possible. Your dedication to providing the best for our students is the engine that drives us forward.
It Takes a Village
This weekend was a masterclass in teamwork. We are feeling overwhelmed with gratitude for:
Our Community Organizations: Thank you to American Pest, Ballinger Creek Management Co. and the Building Goodness Foundation for showing up with tools, supplies, and expert hands.
Our Families: From hauling mulch to tightening bolts, your hard work transformed the space in record time.
It was incredible to see the teamwork in action. Seeing parents, neighbors, and kids working side-by-side reminds us why this community is so unique.
What’s Next?
The kids are already buzzing with excitement! While the progress this weekend was significant, we are just getting started. The students are already asking, "What's next?" and we can't wait to show them.
Panorama School Survey
Families - In addition to what we shared last week (having students in grades 3-5 reflect on their own mindsets and approaches to learning via an online survey they will complete during classes with Mr. Gamble) a copy of the survey will be sent to you.
We are asking that all of our students and families participate in the surveys, as responses will provide invaluable insights into their experiences and how we can improve and adapt as a school.
If you have any questions about the Panorama survey, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Mr. Gamble, our School Counselor.
It's always a joy to celebrate students who show CARES and help others! Our students are chosen from all of those nominated by staff and peers the prior week.
Every parent, guardian, and staff member at Scottsville Elementary is automatically part of the PTO, no sign-ups, dues, or meeting attendance required. The PTO only works when our school community works together, and right now we truly need more helping hands. Even volunteering once or helping in a small way makes a big difference for our students and staff.
