Tynes Weekly Updates

Tiger Families,

Recently, we brought together small groups of 4th–6th grade students as part of our Our School, Our Say: Student Voice Forum. This was an opportunity for students to share their experiences and ideas in a supportive, structured setting. We are proud to share that students consistently highlighted the strong relationships they have with their teachers, staff, and peers. Many described Tynes as a place where they feel supported, enjoy learning with others, and value the sense of community we are building together.

Students also offered thoughtful and honest feedback about how we can continue to grow. Key themes included strengthening kindness and inclusion among peers, minimizing disruptions during learning time, and improving structure and supervision during recess and lunch. We are already using this feedback to refine our practices, reinforce positive behavior expectations, and ensure all students experience a safe, respectful, and engaging school environment.

Thank you for your continued partnership in helping us create the best possible experience for every student, every day. 🐯

Warmly,

Dr. Borgese

Our Jog-a-thon officially kicked off today! Students attended a fun assembly and learned about this year’s prizes and how they can help raise funds for our school!

Goal: $22,000

We’re using DoJiggy again this year for easy online donations (cash and checks are welcome, too). Information on setting up your student’s fundraising page is coming home and included below.

There are:

• Prizes for fundraising milestones

• Awards for the top 3 fundraisers

• A NEW grand prize for the overall top fundraiser

• Class prizes for top-earning classes

Business Sponsorships – A Major Focus This Year

In addition to donations from family and friends, we’re placing a strong emphasis on growing our business sponsorships. Community sponsors make a huge impact and help us reach our goal faster.

You can help by:

• Becoming a sponsor if you own a business

• Asking your employer if they support local schools

• Connecting us with a local business owner you know

• Helping us reach out to businesses in the community

We have multiple sponsorship levels available, and sponsors receive recognition through event signage and school communications.

If you’re willing to help — even by reaching out to just one business — please let us know. Parent connections are incredibly powerful!

EXCITING NEWS!

The Imagination Machine is launching a brand-new podcast, and we're now collecting student-written stories for a chance to be featured!

Thank you for continuing to champion your students' creativity. We can't wait to see what they dream up!
