In the mornings, make sure to arrive at your bus stop at least 5 minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive. Remember, if you miss the bus, never chase after it or go to another bus stop; instead, return home and have someone call the school or the Transportation Department.
A highlight of the 5th grade DC trip is always the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Arlington National Cemetery’s most iconic memorial. This year, Mary Ryan Bunt (TGS) and McKinley Sims (HES) had the honor of laying a wreath. Elijah Veal, HES,
Liam Cotton, KBS, also participated.

We are so excited about the book vending machine which many of you may have seen in our front hall! This new addition to TG Scott was largely funded through a Donor's Choose Project created to enhance our library media program. Our supportive and generous PTO also sponsored half of this literacy focused initiative!
Check out our very first Book Vending Machine Shoppers, Luke Davidson and Elianna Reynolds! Students are able to earn book tokens for our #BookBlasterMachine through Accelerated Reader achievements as well as demonstrating TGS behavioral expectations. Both Luke and Elianna were rewarded a book token for having already earned 70 AR points this school year. Way to go, Luke and Elianna! Who will be next? We can’t wait to see!
