For the month of February the pillar of the month was Citizenship. The following students were selected by their peers. Joel Holmen, Nicholas Wolla, and Hannah Haakenson. Congratulations to these three students!

The Tioga Rec Council requires that all athletes in 4th-6th grades have sports physicals prior to participation in athletics. This is required for all sports provided through their rec programs. Please schedule a physical for your child if they have not had one yet. Contact Rec council for questions. Thanks.

For the month of January was the pillar of Fairness. The students of Tioga High School picked the following students. Congratulations to Madison Spencer, Katie Person, and Wyatt Rice.

High school students: Remember this week is FBLA week! Tomorrow (Tuesday) is Squad Day, partner or group up with others to show off your best outfits. There will also be a bingo activity throughout the day. The FBLA officers will provide the bingo cards in the morning. Participating in either activity gets you a point closer to the dodgeball event at the end of the month!

It is cold this morning, and our buses aren't happy about that! We're having some starting issues so the buses may be a few minutes late. PLEASE, MAKE your children DRESS WARM today, especially the bus kids. Long pants, hats, gloves, coats, etc. so if the buses stall, kids will stay a little warmer. Of course, we will go out and help, but it takes time to get to the bus, and we are taking precautions on our end just in case. Thank you!

Congrats to the following Central Elementary Character Students of the Month for January. It was Fairness.
