🌻 Morning harvest = fresh smiles + fresh veggies! Way to go, 5th grade Hawks! 🌽✨
16 days ago, Kevin McFarland
A large group of 5th grade students is sitting and kneeling outside on the grass beside a school building under a bright blue sky. They’re smiling and gathered closely together, with bins of freshly harvested vegetables—like potatoes and leafy greens—spread out in front of them. Some students are holding up their harvest proudly, while others pose with friends. The scene shows teamwork, joy, and accomplishment from their morning garden harvest.

✨🌟 Shoutout to our Students of the Month! 🌟✨
Today, our Hawks were celebrated in true VIP style! 🥳 They received their certificates and enjoyed a special Golden Ticket lunch complete with music, time with the principal, and a round of Plinko fun 🎶🙌.

We are so proud of these students for their hard work, kindness, and leadership. 💛 Keep soaring high, Hawks—you’re what makes Tilden shine! 🦅💫

What is Student of the Month?
Each month, one student from every class will be recognized for their hard work, positive attitude, and great character.

🎤 Their name will be announced during morning announcements.
📜 They will receive a special certificate and prize from Mrs. Fink.
🎟️ Each winner will also earn a Golden Ticket for lunch at our VIP Table!

We can’t wait to celebrate our amazing students and the great things they are doing every day! 💛

🌟 Community Resources at Your Fingertips 🌟

We’re so lucky to have Family Guidance working with our schools ❤️. They provide support through assigned counselors and three school social workers. Together, they’ve put together this wonderful guide with local resources for families.

These guides can help with things like:
🍎 Food, clothing & hygiene
🩺 Health care & hospitals
🤝 Community organizations
📞 Crisis & safety resources

We know that sometimes families may need a little extra support in addition to what the school can provide. These resources are here to give you options and places to turn whenever you need them 🙌.
