Dear TOE Students and Families,

What an incredible way to close out the school year!

On June 9th, we celebrated our students' hard work, growth, and achievements during our Awards Day program. It was a joy to recognize the accomplishments of so many students who demonstrated academic excellence, perseverance, leadership, and positive character throughout the year.

On June 10th, our students enjoyed a fun-filled Field Day, creating memories with classmates and staff through games, activities, laughter, and teamwork. The smiles, excitement, and school spirit on display reminded us of what makes Tohatchi Elementary such a special place.

To end the year with one final celebration, our staff lined up as the buses pulled up for dismissal and surprised students with a fun water splash send-off! As buses made their way through campus, students were greeted with cheers, waves, and splashes of water from teachers and staff. The laughter and excitement made for a memorable ending to a wonderful school year.

As the new principal of Tohatchi Elementary School, I want to thank our students, families, teachers, and staff for welcoming me into this amazing school community. Although my journey at TOE is just beginning, I have already seen the care, dedication, and pride that make this school a place where students can thrive.

Thank you for partnering with us throughout the year and for trusting us with your children's education. We are proud of all that our students have accomplished and look forward to building on that success together.

Have a safe, restful, and enjoyable summer. We can't wait to welcome everyone back in the fall for another year of learning, growth, and opportunity.

With gratitude,

Joy Castaneda
