Safety Update

We are excited to share that our new perimeter safety gates were installed over spring break! This project has been two years in the making, and we are grateful to finally have this added layer of security for our campus.

Upcoming Events

We’re excited to invite our Tubman and neighborhood families to another free community event! Our Tots & Caregiver Music and Movement class will be hosted at Tubman Elementary and facilitated by staff members from the Lakeview YMCA! Designed for little ones (ages 0–5) and their caregivers, this class will feature stories, music, and sensory activities. Please share with neighbors who may be interested! The event will be held in the school on Thursday, April 2nd from 9:00-10:00am. The event is free, but an RSVP is needed to attend. Interested families can RSVP here.
