On March 4 TAA hosted an awards luncheon for the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) essay contest.  Our students entered this contest in December. The students were to imagine themselves as Paul Revere writing his memoirs. This year TAA took all the firsts in the district, with one winner in each grade. Congratulations to David Matej, 5th grade; Molly Harnish, 6th grade; Nathan Master, 7th grade; and Josiah Wells, 8th grade.

On Thursday Mrs. Hanko treated her class to a pancake lunch.  The kindergartners and first graders are studying Nate the Great, and Nate’s favorite food is pancakes, so Mrs. Hanko incorporated these two things. The class has been enjoying using the clues to solve the mysteries before Nate, and they also enjoyed the pancakes. Thanks to Mrs. Hanko!

Congratulations to Laura Null for winning Top Ten in Creative Communication Poetry! This is a real honor as several thousand entries are not selected to be published, and of those that are, being chosen to be in Top Ten is quite prestigious.
