In observance of Hispanic Heritage Month, on October 10th T.J. Middle hosted its first Hispanic Heritage Resource Fair. The Family Engagement Team plans on continuing this annually and hopes it will grow each year. At T.J. our goal is to provide vital resources to our families to help reduce barriers that may impede the academic success of our students. We also strive to increase cultural awareness amongst our staff and students, so that we can provide a more inclusive environment for our families to thrive. I just want to say thank you to all the staff and BETA Club members that helped set-up/clean-up and volunteered to stay during the event.
