Game Chang-HERS!
Tonkawa Elementary kicked off a brand-new tradition this week with Vincent’s Quacky Quest, an activity by our very own elementary school counselor, Mrs. Vincent, to bring fun and teamwork into the school day. The challenge? Teachers search for their hidden ducks, with students cheering them on along the way.
The quest has already sparked excitement across grade levels, with students eagerly helping their teachers spot the well-hidden ducks. Week 1 wrapped up with Pre-K, Mrs. Goodwin, Mrs. Gilbert, and Ms. Jones, emerging as the first winners of the Quacky Quest. Their teamwork and sharp eyes brought home the victory and set the bar high for the weeks ahead.
With more rounds still to come, anticipation is building. Who will claim the next win in Vincent’s Quacky Quest?

Attention 2026 SENIORS and SENIOR PARENTS....
Starting off the semester strong with learning about, Art is.... Students are having discussions about what art means to them as an individual and taking inspiration from Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Barbara Kruger to create their own individualized collage expressing their theme for art this year. Really great work so far and more to come!

The class lists have officially set sail and are posted outside the elementary building! While we hoped to launch them through Sylogist, the system isn't quite ready to leave the dock.
Just know—these lists weren’t thrown together in a bottle and sent out to sea! 🌊 A lot of thought, care, and heart went into building each crew. No matter the classroom, your Buccaneer is in for an amazing year with a team that always puts kids first. 💛🏴☠️
Get ready for an exciting voyage this school year! ⛵📚 #TESBuccaneers #SettingSailForSuccess #EveryBuccaneerMatters
