Jackie Robinson Day, part 2.
Today is Jackie Robinson Day!!! Our wonderful PTO at Townsend took an idea and ran with it! Mrs. Annie Johnson made shirts for the 1st & 2nd grade students in Ms Simpson's class. In reference to our studies during Black History Month, we celebrated our favorite #42!!!
We "sported" our shirts, did an art project, and had a day of learning through celebration!
Thank you so much, Townsend PTO & Ms. Annie!

Tomorrow begins MSTEP testing for third, fourth, fifth, and sixth graders. It is imperative that your child get a good nights rest, come to school on time, and ready to rock the test! Thank you.

Tomorrow morning is a School Bus Evacuation Safety Drill.
Please note: For those who are following the BusRight App your child's bus will be going to the Bus Garage to complete the drill. All of the buses will complete the drill and then transport the kids to school. This is for both MS/HS and Townsend. If late, the students will not be marked tardy.
