Community School Walk:Tuesday, October 25th
Meet at Meyer Park and begin walking at 7:15 *Wear RED on Tuesday!
If you are new to Tve or have not joined us in the past, this is an annual tradition that is really a lot of fun! Tuesday morning we are planning on wearing red and meeting at Meyer Park here in the neighborhood around 7:00am (as you leave the front of the building, turn right and it is about 2 blocks down on the left. The park with the huge slide). Please encourage your students to join. It is lots of fun. We all begin walking at 7:15am from that point to the school building and it is a way for us to show that we are making 'healthy choices'. A very cool way to start the day.
