👀Spotted: Tartesso Tigers in the wild
This week, we caught our 5th-grade Tartesso Tigers using Rally Coach to support one another during math! 🐯 Students worked together, encouraged each other, and strengthened their problem-solving skills through teamwork. Great collaboration and learning in action! #TartessoTigers #TeamworkInAction #MathLearning
On Thursday, February 26th, we celebrated our Student of the Month recipients at our special luncheon! 🎉 These students were recognized for demonstrating outstanding behavior, positive attitudes, and being great role models on campus. We are so proud of their hard work and the way they represent our school each day. Keep up the amazing work! 👏 #StudentOfTheMonth #ProudSchoolCommunity #TartessoElementary
Over the weekend, the SMUSD Elementary Robotics teams traveled to Queen Creek to compete in the Arizona Elementary VEX IQ State Finals. It was the first time in SMUSD history that all three elementary schools were represented at the State Finals! All three teams did great, but the Winters' Well RoboScorpions made it to the tournament playoffs and finished with a ranking of #6 in the state! They also won the first-ever State Finals award for SMUSD. Great job to all the students and coaches for their hard work this season.
