We are very proud of our Pirates for giving back and helping save lives. We want to extend a big thank you to Pizza Pie on the Fly, Ace Hardware, Luxe Beauty Bar, Cash Wise, and The Rig Lounge for your donations. Thank you to Kayelee Hamers for organizing the event.

Congratulations to Cheyenne Hayes for representing Tioga and Region 8 as Senior Athlete of the Year! A great finish to a great career!

We had a great week with Missoula Children's Theater. The kids put on two great performances in a short time! Thank you to FAT-C for providing our students with this great experience!

Message from FatC. Students doing Missoula Children's Theater will be meeting at the Tioga Theater the rest of the week. Doors will be open starting at 3:30 to drop students off. Parents are responsible for getting their child to the theater by 4. We will be putting up the set at 8:30pm tonight if any parents would like to come help. The more there, the faster it will go. Art to remember orders are due Friday November 17th for free shipping to the school before Christmas. You can continue to order after this date but orders will ship directly to you and shipping will not be paid for.

I was truly honored to visit Tioga Nursing Home today to celebrate the incredible career of Karol Tinkin, who dedicated 33 years to shaping young minds as a teacher. Her impact will continue to inspire generations to come. Let's take a moment today to honor and appreciate the incredible dedication of our retired teachers and current educators. Their commitment to shaping minds and nurturing futures deserves our heartfelt gratitude. Take a moment to thank a teacher today for their invaluable service to education. 🍎✨ #ThankATeacher
