Message from the Principal
Remember that there is no school Wednesday through Friday this week for Thanksgiving Break! We have regular school days today (Monday) and tomorrow (Tuesday). Enjoy this poem from our principal and your extra long weekend.
Tolman Holiday Giving
Holiday Giving Campaign
We will be running a holiday giving campaign through the rest of the holiday season. We have some families in our community who are struggling financially this holiday season. We will be collecting monetary donations that will be used to purchase Christmas meals.
We didn't quite get enough donations before Thanksgiving. Ms. Mascarenas (our Family Advocate) is helping families access needed resources for Thanksgiving. Our Holiday Giving fund will therefore be focused on helping families for Christmas.
At school, students can participate through our annual penny wars activity here at school (donating coins). Penny wars start next week! Online, parents can participate through the "Tolman Elementary Holiday Giving" fund available through myDSD.

(The online donation link is up and working! Make sure you use the exact name "Tolman Elementary Holiday Giving" when donating online.)
