Patriot Family Gazette 12/8/23

Patriot Families,

Polar Express Read-a-thon is going STRONG. We’ve raised over $20,000 and read over 100,000 minutes! Prizes went out today, so if you missed out, be sure to get your student registered here - https://www.getmovinfundhub.com/register...

It's going to be another great week. Keep encouraging your Reader Leaders to log those minutes for the Polar Express. Don't forget to join us on December 12th for our Polar Express Reading Night at 6pm to collect some minutes as well! We will be having our annual Christmas parties on December 14th. All grade levels will be at 2:00 except 5th grade at 1:00. We will be dismissing early on December 15th: 12:30 car riders and walkers and 1:00 bus. There will be no after school care on these days.

As a reminder: Please check lost and found this week. All items will be donated at the end of the semester.

Thanks again for all you do to support our campus and community!

- We cannot release kids after 2:45 due to dismissal procedures. If you have appointments, please make arrangements to pick up by this time.

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!
