Tonkawa Elementary School Picture Day is Monday, Sept 15th! Please bring back all Picture day order forms by Monday. If you want to order pictures after that date, you will need to do it online. You can still make online orders as well.


The excitement of Vincent’s Quacky Quest continued this week as Tonkawa Elementary’s fourth grade team, Mrs. Levings, Mrs. Neal, and Ms. Ochoa, successfully tracked down their hidden ducks. With determination and teamwork, the trio made quick work of the challenge, much to the delight of their students. The fourth grade victory adds to the growing list of winners and keeps the friendly competition alive across the school.
As more classes join in, the question remains: who will rise to the challenge next in Vincent’s Quacky Quest?
