Message from Mrs. Saunders
In an effort to encourage a healthy lifestyle, Tesoro Tigers are participating in activities all week to celebrate Health Week. We hope everyone enjoys dress up days, freeze dance, Hoop it Up Assemblies, Walk to School Wednesday, and Jump Up to Pump it Up. Thank you to Irene O'Donnell and her team for a fun and healthy week!
Some of our students will be competing in the Tesoro del Valle Toastmasters Competitions on Wednesday. The winners of each category will be representing Tesoro del Valle at the district competitions next month. We are very proud of our contestants and appreciate their hard work writing and memorizing their speeches.
Have a restful spring break. We will see you back on Monday, April 10th.
