Principals' Message

TLES Families,

We hope this message finds you well as we wrap up another exciting week at TLES. This week a number of grade levels enjoyed field trips with some wonderful weather and fantastic learning involved! We all quickly got back into the routine of school after spring break, with students demonstrating very responsible behaviors, great effort in class and collaboration with friends. This is one of the many reasons we have the best kids!

The 4th grade students had a wonderful opportunity to visit the Kennedy Center, where they enjoyed a performance by the National Symphony Orchestra. This was a memorable experience that enriched their appreciation for music and the arts. In addition, our 5th grade students had an exciting day at the National Air & Space Museum. Students were amazed and inspired as they explored the history of aviation in space, from the first airplane, to the first people to walk on the Moon, and beyond!

Finally, two of our 2nd grade classes, were able to visit the McLean Project for the Arts, where they observed and took part in some pretty amazing exhibitions ranging from creating recycled material collages to art inspired from Thailand to musical movement and interpretations through art. The other two 2nd grade classes will be attending at a later date.
