Here's to all the readers of the March Madness Tournament of Books! Congratulations and thank you for making this tradition successful and entertaining. Until next March, keep reading!
March's Tiger Way attribute was adaptability. Adaptability is being flexible and having the ability to change plans in a moment's notice. The nominees for adaptability were Mason, Nova, Aaryn, Brielle, Tessa and Samirah. The award recipients were Aaryn and Brielle. Hudson volunteered to present the award ceremony. Congratulations to all the nominees!
For April, the Tiger Way attribute is YET! YET! is having a growth mindset as a belief system that encourages you to embrace challenges, view mistakes as opportunities for growth, and understand that one's abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. It's all about fostering a "can-do" attitude!

Juniors and a select group of seniors traveled to the Historic Minuteman Missile Site to learn about tensions during the Cold War and the overall history of missile silos, a topic that is relevant today! A huge thank you to staff, especially Ranger Matt who gave an incredible presentation to our kids!
Wow! What a great March Madness Book Tournament!! The readers did a great job.
