TFS Hawks Happenings-26/27

Thorntons Ferry School is excited to celebrate Veterans Day by honoring the veterans connected to our TFS families and community.

Families may participate in two special ways:

Hallway of Heroes: Families may request a paper to recognize one or more veterans connected to their family or community. Completed papers will be displayed in our Hallway of Heroes.

Veterans Day Assembly: TFS will hold a Veterans Day Assembly on November 10 at 1:45 PM. Families with a veteran who would like to attend are invited to complete the Veteran Guest RSVP Form.

Please see the attached flyer for more information and links to both forms. We kindly ask families to respond by November 2 when possible.

Thank you for helping us honor the veterans connected to our Thorntons Ferry community!

Thank you for helping your children arrive at school on time! Being on time helps them feel settled, connect with classmates, and begin learning with their class. We know mornings can be challenging. If you need help with arrival, call the TFS Office at 889-1577, and a helper will meet you and your child when you arrive.
