Lion's Link #lionpride

It was a great turnout for Parent/Teacher Conferences!

Thank you to all the parents, students, and staff members who attended conferences and participated in the other events this evening. Your support and involvement mean so much to us — we truly appreciate all that you do! If you weren’t able to attend, no worries! Your child’s grades will be mailed home next week. Please feel free to reach out to any of our staff members if you’d like to talk about your child’s progress — we’re always happy to visit and work together to help our students succeed!

🎀 It’s Red Ribbon Week! 🎀
Dress-up days have been posted in this week’s Lions Link and on our Facebook page. Students who participate in the Red Ribbon Week dress-up days will receive a small prize at the end of the day — thank you to the Tuscumbia PTO for providing these prizes!

Each day students dress up, their name will also be entered into a special drawing that will be held on Friday. There will be separate drawings for Elementary, Middle School, and High School students. A big thank-you to the Tuscumbia Athletic Booster Club for donating the prizes for these drawings!
