SPECIAL THANKS!
TKS extends its heartfelt gratitude to our entire school community for a truly wonderful year. None of what we do would be possible without the unwavering support of our parents and families.
A special thank you to our PTO President, Trisha Windham (Kinder and 2nd grade parent), and her dedicated committee members for their outstanding leadership and commitment throughout the year. We also extend our sincere appreciation to Maggie Leuck (Kinder, ECC parent) and Melissa Chambers (3rd grade parent) for their exceptional work organizing our annual fundraising events, Winterfest and the TKS Spring Auction.
To our remarkable staff: thank you to Lisa Huffaker for delivering an incredible Musical Showcase this morning. Her talent and dedication are a true gift to our school community. Shout out also to Michael Boss with BOCO for taking the lead with our TKMS students! We are also grateful to Laura Booher (TKMS and Kinder parent) and Niki Maruca (3rd) for their leadership of STUCO, whose efforts brought us the memorable TKS Has Talent, Two shows last week.
Finally, to every parent volunteer who joined us on field trips, served lunch, assisted with building needs, supported teachers through wishlists, and so much more, your contributions do not go unnoticed. We are deeply grateful for each one of you.
Thank you for making this year one to remember.
