Message from our Principal
Dear Tiger Families,
My heart is full after seeing our Thomas Crossroads community come together for our Fall Festival! A big Tiger thank-you to our wonderful PTO for the planning, hard work, and love poured into this special event. To our staff, volunteers, and every family who came out to support us—thank you! Spending time together and enjoying some good, old-fashioned fun made it a special night in the Tigerhood.
November is bringing more opportunities for our Tigers to learn, connect, and spread a little kindness!
November 4: Statewide Tornado Drill — We will practice staying safe together so our Tigers know what to do during severe weather.
November 9: School Psychology Week Begins — We will celebrate our school psychologists and the care they give to help children learn, grow, and thrive.
November 13: World Kindness Day — Little acts of kindness can make a BIG difference! We will encourage our Tigers to share a smile, lend a hand, and help someone feel included.
November 19: Career Day — Our Tigers will explore exciting possibilities for the future. We cannot wait to hear their big dreams!
We are also kicking off our next 7 Mindsets focus, “We Are Connected.” We want every child to know, “You belong here, you matter, and you have something special to share.” At home, try asking, “Who did you help today?” or “How did you make someone feel welcome?” These little conversations help kindness grow.
Thank you for sharing your precious children with us. It is a privilege to cheer them on, celebrate their growth, and remind them how very loved they are.
Tiger Spirit—One Team, One Roar!
With love and Tiger pride,
Dr. Robyn Scott
Your Proud Principal

A Message from your School Counselor
I am tree-mendous-ly excited to step into another cozy Holiday season with my Tiger Family!! 🎁🎄🦃
For the months of November and December, we will highlight the “We Are Connected” Mindset!
This mindset reminds us that we are all connected and that our words, actions, and choices can make a difference in the lives of others. We will encourage our Tigers to build positive relationships, show compassion, appreciate our differences, and recognize the importance of being part of a caring community.
As we head into the holiday season, it’s the perfect time to remind our students that small acts of kindness, helping others, and making everyone feel included can have a BIG impact.
