In celebration of Grandparents Day, we’re sharing a few special memories made with our wonderful grandparents and their grandchildren.

Thank you to all the grandparents who joined us and helped make the day so meaningful. Your love, wisdom, and support make such a beautiful difference in the lives of our students.

❤️🤍💙 Gratitude, Service & Community ❤️🤍💙

In remembrance of September 11 and in appreciation of our local first responders, the Tom Lea Student Ambassadors teamed up with Operation Gratitude to deliver a care package and some sweet treats to Fire Station #30.

Our students had the opportunity to personally thank our firefighters for all they do to serve and protect our community. In return, the firefighters gave our Student Ambassadors a special tour of the station and a closer look at the important work they do each day.

Experiences like this remind our students that kindness, gratitude, service, and unity help build a stronger community.

Thank you to Fire Station #30 for welcoming our students, and thank you to Operation Gratitude for helping us show our appreciation, and thank you to the Blanchard family for donating the sweet treats.

🫶It’s all about unity and community! 🐂
