HUGE shout out to our amazing PTO. We truly have the best PTO and they spoil us beyond measure. We would also like to thank Carter and Cash Coffee and Saloon for the best coffee and cider. Rave reviews all the way around!
Tate Bulldog Families,
Our students are learning to share care and compassion for our community by giving items to the Pruitt nursing home residents. We will continue collecting through December 13, 2024. Items we need most are non-skid socks and small throws/blankets. These will be added to their gift bags' hygiene and sweet treat items. Thank you for your generosity and support during this Christmas season.

Top Dawg....4th Grade South! Congrats
Mathias Taylor, Tate Elementary, had a hard time getting out of the car in the morning during morning drop off. He formed a bond with Mr. Stephens and only wants him to get him out of the car. Mr Stephens was busy one morning and wasn't out in car riders so someone else got Mathias out of the car. Mathias was sad and wanted Mr. Stephens. When Mr. Stephens heard Mathias was sad, Mr. Stephens came to his rescue.
Gavin Adams, from Tate Elementary was teaching a child who had never played UNO how to play, he was so kind and patient as he helped him. When the child who didn't know how to play played a card without Gavins help Gavin was so excited. He cheered for him and said "Ms. Wendy, he knows how to play now". He had the sweetest smile as he said it, he was truly proud the child was understanding the game.
He also often gives his chair up for children who are standing as we are playing UNO. He has the sweetest and kindest soul.

These students are our first winners of Habit 2: Beginning with the End in Mind. These students were nominated for having a plan, working to achieve the plan, making corrections- not excuses when facing a struggle, and giving a HOOT about their future. We are so proud of them! Please congratulate Erica Moore, Charlotte Kirk, Austin Henson, and Bryer Little (not pictured). Tate Bulldogs practice habits to become great student leaders!
Shout out to our "Head Turkey." Mrs. Gina and her cafeteria staff are amazing. They will be cooking Thanksgiving Dinner all week this week so every grade level can have a peaceful meal with their children. It is a lot of hard work and she always does it with a smile. If you see her this week, please let her know how thankful you are for her! If anyone deserves a shoutout, it's her!
