We asked our teachers and staff to share a glimpse of their summer with all of us.
☀️ Señora Anderson is happy to be spending the summer with her husband and son. They have been exploring local treasures, playing board games when it’s too hot out, enjoying friendly competitions with their new basketball hoop, and spent the last few days down on Long Island visiting family from all over the country. Next on the queue is a Tri-City Valley Cats game, and a camping trip with cousins in the Poconos (PA). Hope everyone’s summer is full of fun!☀️

Silent hallways, student whispers gone,
Echoes of a school year's song.
Lockers closed, and desks now bare,
Memories of the past year linger in the air.
Summer's promise calls away,
Goodbye to friends, if just for a day.
Empty halls, the final bell,
Stories only these Tamarac walls can tell.
Congratulations to all who are retiring this year! Thank you for your dedicated years to our Tamarac community.
Don't forget 6th and 7th graders: Chromebooks, cases and chargers are due back today!
The Seniors will be doing a Next Step Drive Through tomorrow evening from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the front parking lot. Friends, family and community members are invited to drive through, wave and wish them well!
