A Little Thanksgiving Gratitude, a Little Early 🧑🐯

Tiger Families -


I know Thanksgiving is still a few weeks away, but sometimes life gives us a reason to pause and reflect on what we're thankful for a little earlier than expected.


Over the past week and a half, I've been away from campus navigating some health challenges within my family. While it's never easy to step away, I've been reminded of something incredibly special about the Tynes community: the people who make it what it is.


The kindness, understanding, and support I've experienced during this time have meant more than I can adequately express. I'm especially grateful for our incredible staff, who continue to show up for our students and one another, ensuring that the important work of teaching, learning, and caring for our Tigers continues each day.


One thing I've always believed about schools is that a strong school community is about more than academics, programs, or events. It's about relationships. It's about how we treat one another, how we show up when it matters, and how we make people feel that they belong.


This past week has been a personal reminder of just how powerful that can be.


As we head toward Thanksgiving, I hope we all find a moment to appreciate the people who make our lives a little easier, a little brighter, and a lot more meaningful.


Thank you for being part of what makes Tynes such a special place.


With gratitude,

Dr. Borgese, Principal
