Tildenville Elementary School Community Brief
Friday, November 18, 2022

Dear Mark,
I hope this Thanksgiving message finds your family having faired the recent tropical storm with few challenges. Coming on the heels of Hurricane Ian, foul weather is certainly something we have had enough of for now and hopefully this is the end of it for this year.
As you likely already know, next week is our Thanksgiving break and I know all our our Tigers, teachers, and staff are looking forward to some quality time with family and friends. If you take even a quick moment to scroll through this issue you can get an idea why I am so grateful to serve as your principal. We are so blessed to have such hard working young students, parents who truly care, teachers with boundless energy, a support staff who does all they can to keep the school running smoothly, partners in education that step up when we need them, being part of a school system that can offer all that OCPS does, and of course an amazing PTA that is continuously creating special events for the benefit of both students and teachers. What a wonderful school community we have!!!
| |
|
One of our many PTA led special events so far this this school year:
Trunk or Treat!
| |
|
As you will see just below, once we return from Thanksgiving break and turn into December we will have both FAST testing and a number of special grade level events occurring. Additionally, our PTA Holiday Shoppe will be open just ahead of the holidays with some excellent gift ideas for your Tiger!
On behalf of the Tildenville staff, I would like to thank you for your continued support and wish you a safe and happy holiday. We will see everyone back here Monday, November 28th.
Mrs. Alvarez
Proud Principal

A little community support is needed for our Tiger Store . . .
Thank you for any donations you can make!
| |
|
1) We are in need of small toys/prizes for the Tiger Store.
Our Tigers are shopping, and we need to restock the shelves! If you can help out drop off your donations to the front office labeled for Mr. Dolfi.
2) The Tigers started taking their AR tests in October. We are in need of one Kindle Fire for each grade level (6 altogether).
If you are interested in donating one of the Kindle Fires that will go to one student per grade level at the end of the year with the most AR points, please email Julie Hager at 31313@ocps.net.

Mrs. Hager's 2nd grade Dual Language class learned to subtract using multiple strategies! | |

We also have one of our very own Tildenville Tigers, Daisy who will be dancing in the full performance with the Orlando Ballet in the Nutcracker production! Our Tigers are talented! | |

STEM: Future Civil Engineers? | |
Mrs. Negron's 5th grade Dual Language class participated in this index card tower activity. Students were exploring balanced and unbalanced forces in a very fun way! | |
The students were working in small groups and they approached the challenge differently. If you look closely, the towers they build were not the same as they tackled both height and strength. | |
Thank you to the Winter Garden Bloom and Grow Society and Duke Energy for their donation and time to the 5th grade class of 2023. They have partnered with Tildenville to donate a tree to the 5th grade class to plant and watch grow over the next several years. Thank you! | |
