The Tiger Tribune

As we turn the page into October, we are proud to look back on the strong start that our Tigers have made this school year. Our students have settled into routines, built relationships and jumped into learning with enthusiasm. Thank you to our familes and staff for helping us set the stage for a successful year!

October brings many opportunities to continue learning, growing and connecting as a school community. We look forward to welcoming families into our buildng for Open House, celebrating a love of reading through our Book Fair and coming together for exciting school and community events throughout the month.

Together, we will continue to make every scene matter and help ever Tiger shine!

October Character Trait:

This month, Eva Turner Tigers are focusing on Integrity! Integrity means choosing to do the right thing, even when no one is watching. Throughout October, students will learn how honesty, responsibility, and strong character help build trust and strengthen our school community.

Families can support this learning at home by talking with their children about making good choices, telling the truth, and taking responsibility for their actions.
