| Principal Message |  We have a busy week ahead of us! Our 8th grade students will be going on several field trips which is always a wonderful experience. Our 8th grade students will also have the honor of listening to a presentation by Sidney Finkel, a holocaust survivor. Mr. Finkel has presented at our school for several years and is always impressed with the respect and compassion our students show. Having guests who recognize this in our students is something that brings me great pride. You all should certainly be proud as well. | | Future Tiger Night | | Mark your calendars for THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15TH for the Future Tiger Night at Marana High School. 6:00: Welcome and Presentations 6:30-8:00: Cafeteria Displays | | 8th Grade Field Trip | | Our 8th graders will be going to Marana High School on the morning of Wednesday, Feb. 7th.

This special CTY session provides students in 2nd through 8th grades and their families a chance to learn about CTY's programs, ask questions, and connect with other families of bright students. Qualifying for CTY means gaining access to summer and online courses, academic counselors, and family learning adventures. It means connecting with expert instructors and fellow students who share your interests. It means learning to take risks, make mistakes, think creatively, and grow confidently.
