We always say TFS has the best educators... you can see two of them speaking up for students in this article in the Daily Southtown!

A school librarian association raised concern about the lack of librarians at renovated Nathan Hale Elementary School in Lansing.

Well, it's the last day of Teacher Appreciation Week at TF South... and the theme is SLICE, SLICE BABY! 🍕 Teachers were given pizza and cake for lunch and the spirit day theme was RED-OUT... dress in red from head to toe. 😍

Clearly, Mrs. Streit swept the week as far as spirit day outfits went. Even Bouler conceded and paid her respects to the winner today. Rocky Radio Radiothon's last "Name that Tune" had a little bit of technical error from Bangin' Beats Bouler at first... but Ms. Hudson and Ms. Taylor were quickest on the dial with the right answer.

Hope ya'll enjoyed seeing some of your past and current teachers having fun this week. Even if you didn't see your favorite teacher, please know we appreciate them ALL, both this week and during the rest of the school year. ❤️🩶🤍
