Guess what Tamarac Alumni is headed for the neon lights of The Tonight Show?
That’s right—our very own Tamarac HS alum, Julia Olson, is taking her talents to rock the stage on Jimmy Fallon’s show!! 🚀🎤 🎶✨
From nailing high school homework to now nailing prime-time performances, Julia proves that Tamarac HS doesn’t just prepare you for the real world—it preps you to steal the spotlight! 🌟🙌
So let’s all tune in, cheer her on, and maybe take a moment to appreciate that we knew her before she was a household name. 😉👏

It is one of the Library’s favorite times of the year! Tamarac Elementary School is hosting a Scholastic Book Fair for 1st-5th graders. Here is how to shop:
Wish List:
Students in 1st-5th grade will preview the book fair in person and make a wish list of books they would like to get. At home you can decide which one to get. Send the wish list back to the library with your child with circles of which books to buy and we will get them their books. Students can bring cash or a check (please make checks payable to Brunswick CSD). Scholastic is now offering a new, cash-free payment option called eWallet, making it easier for students to buy books! Once an eWallet is set up, we can use the student name to look up funds and check out their books, no paper/envelope of money needed. Create a free account online, pre-authorize a spending limit, and have funds immediately available. Please note that every book fair needs a new eWallet to be set up. https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/tamaracelementaryschool2
