Congratulations to Our Tiffany LEAD Club Dancers!



On Friday night, our Tiffany LEAD Dance Club performed at Eastlake High School as part of their year Ohana Benefit Show. They were PURE JOY to watch on stage! A huge thank you to the staff who came on campus to watch them rehearse and to the staff who came out to the show to support! With all of our Tiffany Families and staff, we had a huge cheering section for our 15 dancers. It was so cool to see my worlds collide – so proud of our dancers ❤️

Save the Date – Literacy Week March 2nd through the 6th

We are excited to celebrate Literacy Week with our theme, Reading Takes You Everywhere!
In addition to our daily themed activities, we have several special events planned for the week:
Reading Minutes Challenge
Students will track their reading minutes throughout the week. The class in each grade band with the highest total minutes (TK–K, 1–3, and 4–6) will win a popsicle party.
Bookmark Contest
Students may design a bookmark using the provided template and may decorate both sides. Entries will be collected during Literacy Week, and a winner from each grade will be selected the following Monday. Winning bookmarks will be printed and distributed to the entire school.
Short Story or Poetry Share (Tuesday)
Students are invited to write a short story or poem on Monday or Tuesday morning and may volunteer to read it during lunch on Tuesday. All participants will receive a small prize for sharing their work.
We look forward to a week filled with reading, creativity, and school-wide celebration.
Save the Date – PTA Family Bingo Night!

Annual Campaign in Support of the South Bay YMCA

This year’s South Bay YMCA Annual Campaign has begun and Tiffany Elementary is ready to support this effort again this year! The YMCA does so much for our community and many of our families are so grateful for their impact! The Annual Campaign helps to offset the costs of many of its program offerings, to all access for young students all the way through our seniors here in the South Bay. This year, we will be selling popsicles again as well as the coin drive. All proceeds go directly to the YMCA.

Click HERE for our YMCA Fundraising Page if you would like to make a donation! THANK YOU for your support of our YMCA!
